Important Notice: Planned Outage on July 21

The MDA and our partner Minnesota IT Services (MNIT) will be doing technology improvements on Monday, July 21, 2025. This work will require taking several systems offline throughout the day. You will not be able to apply for or renew any licenses or permits online on July 21. You will also not be able to look up any licensing or permitting information. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Licensing systems should be restored by Tuesday, July 22, 2025. We will provide updates if that timeline changes.
