HF 4271 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Electronic motor vehicle registration and title transfer procedures modified, and electronic signatures for motor registration and vehicle title transfers authorized.

This bill allows Minnesota to use electronic signatures for motor vehicle registration and title transfers, enabling the Department of Public Safety to accept digital signatures on forms and documents. It defines electronic signatures as digital symbols or processes that indicate a person's intent to sign and requires the state to accept them whether submitted electronically or printed on paper. The law mandates that systems capturing these signatures must verify user identity and securely store access logs and user information for five years. It also prohibits requiring electronic signature vendors to be state-certified and prevents the need to convert electronic documents back to paper format unless physical submission is specifically required.
