Keep in mind: Gov. Walz​ signed a bill into law March 28 that provides an extension for Minnesotans whose driver’s licenses or ID cards expire during the peacetime emergency.  The law extends the expiration date for any valid driver’s license, instruction permit (including commercial learner’s permits), provisional license, operator’s permit, limited license, and farm work license that would expire during the peacetime emergency. The expiration dates for these licenses will be extended for two months after the month the peacetime emergency ends. This extension covers new Minnesota residents whose out-of-state licenses expire during the peacetime emergency.  The peacetime emergency is currently set to expire on June 12, 2020.
