"Protecting the integrity of online testing is critical to the success of this program and will help ensure Minnesotans have access to this test without needing to leave their home," DPS-DVS Director Emma Corrie said. Now, the online test will start immediately after registering and receiving the email with security and testing codes to ensure the person registering and the proctor are in the same place and ready to begin as soon as registration is done.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services division (DPS-DVS) said Tuesday that it has relaunched the online test after removing it on Nov. whether there will be an impact on service at the North Mankato office is unknown at this point.Minnesotans can once again take the class D knowledge test online at home. DPS says new employees will need to be hired and trained before operations there restart. The Fairfax deputy registrar office will be closed for the time-being, as that location only had two employees - both of whom can no longer access DVS data.
If they do retain their job, they simply won't have access to the DVS data, which could make some tasks difficult. That decisions is instead left with their employer. It does not, however, require them to be reassigned or fired. Most look-ups involved what appeared to be VIN numbers of vehicles, belonging either to themselves or other individuals with whom they shared a last name.Īccording to DPS, state law requires anyone found to have inappropriately accessed DVS data to "immediately and permanently" lose those permissions.
Doug Neville, deputy director in the Office of Communications at DPS, said there is no indication the offending workers "were using their access for identity theft or any similar nefarious purpose." However, as is required under the law, the information was sent to local county attorneys to review for possible criminal charges.ĭPS-DVS sent letters (which were provided to Bring Me The News) to the six individuals in question, laying out the unauthorized access that was uncovered, as well as their loss of access effective July 20, 2021.
