Is the DMV open today in Minnesota?
In Minnesota, driver licensing is handled by the Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS). Its offices close on the state's holiday schedule below — and on weekends. If today isn't one of those, offices run normal business hours.
Holiday list taken from the state's standard state-office holidays, set out in Minnesota Statutes section 645.44; confirm with the agency before visiting.
The state's executive branch, which runs DVS, takes the Friday after Thanksgiving off but works Indigenous Peoples Day, so offices are open Monday, October 12.
July 4 falls on a Saturday in 2026, so the day off moves to Friday, July 3.

Weekend holidays can be observed on the nearest weekday, and a few states handle that differently — the notes above call it out where Minnesota does. The final word is always the agency's own page.
Checked against the Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) and the state's published holiday schedule, verified August 2026. When a schedule for a new year has not been published yet, this page says so — it never guesses.
