Where the Roseville DMV is located and what it handles

The Roseville Driver and Vehicle Services office is located at 2900 Labore Road, Roseville, MN 55113. This is a full-service Minnesota Department of Public Safety office that handles driver's license renewals, replacements, and new licenses; vehicle registration and title services; and identification card requests. It is one of the busier metro locations in the Twin Cities area.

This office does not handle commercial driver's license (CDL) testing or road tests for regular driver's licenses. Those services are available at other Minnesota locations. The Roseville office is primarily a transaction and document center, not a testing facility.

How to make an appointment or check wait times

Minnesota allows you to book an appointment online through the Department of Public Safety website. You can select the Roseville location, choose the service you need, and see available time slots. Appointments are not required, but booking one typically reduces your wait time significantly.

If you prefer to walk in without an appointment, the website also displays current wait times for each office. You can check this information before you leave home to decide whether to go when ready or return at a slower time. Wait times at the Roseville location can range from 15 minutes to over an hour depending on the day and time of day.

What documents to bring

The documents you need depend on your specific transaction. For a driver's license renewal, bring your current license and proof of residency (such as a utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days). For a new license, you will need proof of identity, proof of residency, and proof of Social Security number.

For vehicle registration or title work, bring your current registration, the vehicle title (if you have it), proof of insurance, and a form of payment. If you are registering a vehicle for the first time in Minnesota, bring the out-of-state title or bill of sale. The staff at the office can tell you exactly what you need for your situation if you call ahead.

Hours and contact information

The Roseville office is open Monday through Friday, with hours typically from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., though hours may vary by day. Saturday hours are sometimes available but are limited. The best way to confirm current hours is to visit the Minnesota Department of Public Safety website or call the office directly at (651) 296-6911.

You can also reach the general Minnesota DMV customer service line for questions about services, fees, or what documents you need. Having your specific transaction in mind when you call will help the staff give you accurate information.

Services available at Roseville versus other Minnesota locations

The Roseville office handles the most common transactions: driver's license services, vehicle registration, title transfers, and ID cards. However, if you need a road test for a regular driver's license, you will need to visit a different location. Road tests are offered at select offices throughout the state, and you can find the nearest one on the state website.

Commercial driver's license (CDL) testing is also not available at Roseville. CDL services are centralized at fewer locations in Minnesota. If you need either of these services, the state website has a location finder that will show you the nearest office that offers what you need.

Fees and payment methods

Fees for driver's licenses, vehicle registration, and other services vary depending on what you are doing and how long your license or registration lasts. A standard driver's license renewal costs less than a new license. Vehicle registration fees depend on the vehicle type and weight. The Minnesota Department of Public Safety website lists current fees for each service.

The Roseville office accepts cash, check, debit card, and credit card. Some transactions may have different payment requirements, so confirm when you book your appointment or call ahead. If you are unsure about the exact fee for your transaction, the staff can tell you when you arrive or when you call.

Tips for a faster visit

Bring all required documents the first time. Missing documents are the most common reason visits take longer than expected or require a return trip. If you are unsure what you need, call the office or check the state website before you go.

Book an appointment if possible. Even during busy times, appointment holders typically move through the line faster than walk-ins. If you do walk in, go early in the morning or mid-week if your schedule allows — these times tend to have shorter waits than late afternoon or Friday.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I renew my driver's license online instead of going to the office?

Minnesota allows online renewal for some driver's licenses, but not all. If your license is not expiring soon and you have no changes to your information, you may be able to renew online through the state website. If you cannot renew online, you will need to visit an office like Roseville in person.

Do I need an appointment, or can I just walk in?

Walk-ins are welcome, but appointments are recommended because they reduce wait time. You can book an appointment online or by phone. If you walk in without an appointment, you may wait longer, especially during peak hours.

What if I need a road test for my driver's license?

Road tests are not offered at the Roseville location. You will need to find a different Minnesota office that provides testing. The state website has a location finder where you can enter your zip code and see which offices near you offer road tests.

How long does a driver's license renewal take at the office?

If you have an appointment and all your documents, the transaction itself usually takes 10 to 20 minutes. Your total time at the office depends on the wait time when you arrive. With an appointment, you may wait 15 to 30 minutes; without one, waits can be longer during busy times.

What is the phone number for the Roseville DMV?

The Roseville office phone number is (651) 296-6911. You can call to confirm hours, ask about documents you need, or get information about current wait times. The general Minnesota DMV customer service line can also help if you have broader questions about services or fees.
