SF 865 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Certain drivers' licenses and identification cards design modification provision

This bill modifies the design requirements for Minnesota drivers' licenses and identification cards. It requires specific markings to indicate age groups (e.g., "Under-21" for drivers under 21, "senior" for those 65+ upon request), REAL ID compliance status, and adds "not for voting" to noncompliant licenses issued to applicants without verified U.S. citizenship. The bill also specifies how names must be truncated on cards and mandates a vertical layout with unique background colors for certain noncompliant licenses. These changes apply to all new licenses and ID cards issued on or after October 1, 2025.
