Driver's License/ID Cards

The State Examiners come to our Waseca County License Bureau on the first Friday of each month, unless we’re closed for a Holiday for Class D Written (Knowledge) and Class D Road (Skills) Testing only. All tests need to be scheduled by appointment only via drive.mn.gov or by calling 651-284-1000 (for Road Test appts only). We are located across from the Waseca County Courthouse in the East Annex building at 300 North State Street here in Waseca.

You can only schedule appointments 30 days in advance. Children under 16 can only schedule a road test online 30 days prior to turning 16. Please bring all necessary paperwork when testing along with a parent or guardian if under age 18. If Guardian, guardianship papers are required.

REAL ID/ENHANCED

Deadline for the REAL ID is May 7, 2025. After that date, if you intend to fly, you will either need your REAL ID or have a current passport book or passport card in order to board a plane to fly domestically in the US. See below links for information required to get the REAL ID or the Enhanced. The Enhanced does the same as the REAL ID but it also allows you to cross between Canada or Mexico by land or sea only. (The fee is $15 more than the REAL ID or Standard). For more info, click here –
