Minor Permit Application Process

Summary

In Minnesota, minors can have their legal guardians sign for their driving permit if they have legal custody. If not, they can request a district court order for permission. Alternatively, if the minor is married or has a child, they can sign for themselves. Consulting a legal advisor is recommended for personalized guidance.

In Minnesota, your legal guardians can sign for you if they have legal custody. If not:
- Ask a district court for an order granting permission.
- Or, if you're married or have a child, you can sign for yourself.
