MINNESOTA
LICENSE NUMBER FORMAT:
The State of Minnesota issues a thirteen (13) character alpha
numeric driver license number from the driver's personal
identifiers. The number consists of one (1) alpha character
followed by twelve (12) numeric characters with dash delimiters
that break the number into a 1-3-3-3-3 grouping: (A-nnn-nnn-nnn-
nnn)
Minnesota uses the Nu-Soundex algorithm to generate a license
number from the driver's name, date of birth, and sex, breaking
this information into coded portions as follows:
Last name - first four (4) characters
First name - next three (3) characters
Middle name or initial - next three (3) characters
Date of birth - last three (3) characters
DOCUMENT:
The plastic photographic license manufactured by NBS, Imaging
Systems Division, displays the driver's photograph in the lower
right corner. Textual information is embossed, credit card style on
the license.
TERM:
Licenses are valid for four (4) years, expiring on the driver's
birthday. Provincial licenses expire on the 19th birthday. Licenses
for minors under 12, expire on the 21st birthday.
MINORS:
Licenses issued to drivers under 21 subsequent to January 1990 show
a black box at the top of the document bearing text "UNDER 21".
Previously, licenses issued to drivers under 19 bore a black bar
with the text "'PROVISIONAL".
CDL:
Commercial licenses are indicated by "COMMERCIAL DRIVERS LICENSE"
in the heading box.
END MINNESOTA
