Electronic IDs in Minnesota could be coming in 2026 under new bill

Fox 9 KMSP

What the bill says: H.F. 1335, authored by Rep. Brad Tabke (DFL-Shakopee), would authorize the Minnesota Department of Public Safety and Vehicle Services Division (DVS) to implement electronic versions of driver’s licenses and Minnesota IDs as soon as July 1, 2026.

Minnesota’s DVS would be tasked with overseeing the program implementation and setting up any fee structure for them.

As part of its roll-out, DVS could contract with third-party entities to develop an electronic credential system that would comply with the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators' most recent standards.
