Driver's license expiration dates extended to every eight years, and fees increased.

HF 2615 extends Minnesota driver's license and identification card expiration periods from every 5 years to every 8 years. The bill increases standard license and ID card fees (e.g., moving from $27.75 to $34.50 for some non-REAL ID cards) and adds a $4.50 surcharge to all license-related fees. These changes apply to all new and renewed licenses submitted on or after August 1, 2025. The bill directly affects every Minnesota driver who renews their license, altering both renewal timing and cost structure.
