Computer system upgrade will affect vehicle transactions July 20-22 

The State of Minnesota is replacing the computer system that handles license tabs and other vehicle transactions, and this will affect the services offered at the St. Louis County Auditor's Service Center for three days during the upgrade.

 

Thursday and Friday, July 20-21: The Auditor's Service Center will be open during normal operating hours, however no vehicle transactions can be done on those days. This includes license tabs, license plates, title transfers and title applications. Other services such as driver's license renewals, DNR transactions, and passport applications and renewals will not be affected.

 

Saturday, July 22: The Auditor's Service Center will be closed.

 

The Auditor's Service Center will be back open for business as usual on Monday, July 24. 

 

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services division (DPS-DVS) is replacing the system used for motor vehicle and driver’s license transactions and record information. The motor vehicle portion of the Minnesota Licensing and Registration System (MNLARS) will be implemented during this time, replacing the current 30-year-old mainframe computer system. The new system will greatly reduce turnaround time for title transactions from weeks to a matter of days.

 

The Auditor's Service Center is located on the back side of the Miller Hill Mall in Duluth. To learn more about the services it provides, and the Federal, State and County transactions it handles, visit stlouiscountymn.gov/auditor.
