明尼苏达州驾照
搬到美国后，在明尼苏达州拿到你的第一张驾照。
整个流程
- 1刚搬来你已经搬到了明尼苏达州，想在这里开车。
- 2学车许可你拿着学习驾驶许可（learner's permit）上路练车。
- 3笔试你参加笔试。
- 4路考你上车参加路考。
- 拿到驾照考试通过，驾照就是你的了。
费用多少
第一张驾照
D 类 $27.75，C 类 $31.75，B 类 $38.75，A 类 $46.75，符合 REAL ID 与否费用相同。
此外还要加一笔申办费，金额与驾照代办处（driver's license agent）收取的数额相同。
每项费用还要加收 $2.25 的附加费。
$46
这笔钱在申请时支付。
如果你刚到美国
你的移民身份
明尼苏达州签发普通驾照时，不要求提供移民身份证明。
没有到期日期的外国证件
卡上印的日期在这里不起决定作用：除非你持有仍在有效期内、或过期不满一年的德国或台湾驾照，否则笔试和路考都要参加；驾照不是英文的还要附翻译件。台湾驾照上不印到期日期，要证明它仍然有效，需要提供台湾交通部出具的驾照核验证明（Verification Certificate of Driver's License）原件，或由台北经济文化代表处（TECO）芝加哥办事处在你申请前三个月内出具的英文有效性证明。
如果你另一个州的驾照已经过期
远程办理只在这些条件同时满足时适用：驾照在过去五年内过期，过期的原因是另一个州给你签发了驾照，并且你上交或作废那个州仍然有效的驾照。
需要准备的材料
- 仍在有效期内的证件你以前获发的明尼苏达州驾照、身份证或许可证，在随申请出示时，过期时间不能超过规定的期限。
你的社会安全号码（SSN）
要不要提供号码，谁能看到它
收集这个号码是为了安全：它能降低身份盗用和欺诈风险，维护驾照签发的可靠性。
你的号码保密，只有依法获得授权的人才能查看，不会印在卡上、嵌入卡内或存进卡的条形码里。州政府通过社会安全局（SSA）的 Social Security Online Verification 在线核验服务核对你的号码、姓名和出生日期；不符合领号条件的申请人在普通驾照申请表上说明即可。
申请表上要填写你的社会安全号码（SSN）。如果你没有号码，在申请明尼苏达州身份证、学习驾驶许可（instruction permit）、D 类过渡期驾照（provisional）或 D 类驾照时，可以选择不提供。
要参加的考试
视力检查
走远程办理时，州政府需要一份过去两年内的视力检查记录，或一份在同一期限内用规定表格填写、由持照医生或验光师签字的视力证明——在美国境外持有类似执照的医生或验光师也算。
这只是对照最低视力标准做的检查，不是体检。你可以带上自己眼科医生出具的视力报告，代替在办事处现场做检查。
路考
通过州远程流程获批的申请人不用参加路考。
考试包含实际驾驶演示：你要展示对机动车正常、合理的操控。
需要
笔试可以考几次
同一科目连续两次不及格后，第三次以及之后每一次由部门安排的该科目考试都要收 $10。

使用翻译
笔试以外的事情，车辆服务局（DVS）网站的虚拟助手全天候用英语、苗语、索马里语和西班牙语回答问题。
