Minnesota requirements
Eighteen waits longer than nineteen
Minnesota’s permit-holding rule produces a result that surprises most people: an applicant aged exactly 18 waits twice as long as someone who is 19 or older.
Six months at 18
An applicant who is 18 and has never been licensed in Minnesota or elsewhere must hold the instruction permit for at least six months before qualifying for a driver’s licence.
Three months if older
For all other applicants — those 19 and over — the minimum period is three months. An instruction permit held in another jurisdiction is credited toward the time.
Permit conditions
A Class D instruction permit is valid for two years. You must have it in your possession and be accompanied by an adult licensed driver occupying the seat beside you.
Based on Minnesota Statutes 171.05 and DVS guidance. Statutes are amended from time to time — confirm current requirements with Driver and Vehicle Services before applying.
Frequently asked questions
Minnesota instruction permit and Class D test FAQs
How long must an adult hold a Minnesota instruction permit?
Six months if you are 18 and have never been licensed anywhere. Three months if you are 19 or older. Time on an instruction permit from another jurisdiction is credited toward the requirement.
Do adults need driver education in Minnesota?
The 30 hours of classroom instruction and the behind-the-wheel enrolment requirement apply to applicants aged 15 to 17. They are not required of applicants aged 18 and over.
How long is a Class D instruction permit valid?
Two years. You must carry it while driving, and an adult licensed driver must occupy the seat beside you.
Do the provisional licence restrictions apply to adults?
The passenger limits and the midnight to 5 a.m. restriction apply to provisional licence holders under 18. An adult applicant is not issued a provisional licence.
Does time on an out-of-state permit count in Minnesota?
Yes. An applicant holding an instruction permit from another jurisdiction is credited with the amount of time that permit has been held.
What does the Class D knowledge test cover?
Traffic laws, road signs and safe vehicle operation from the Minnesota Driver’s Manual. The practice tests on this page follow those topic areas.
