Temps are starting to change! Did you know you can renew your tabs and licenses before you head for warmer temps without a notice? There are about 44,000 snowbirds who keep a residence in Minnesota but live elsewhere part-time. Check your driver's license and tabs before you pack up! We can help you avoid the hassle of a mail in application. Visit Falls License Bureau at 1225 3rd St International Falls.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE from the Department of Natural Resources and Falls License Bureau regarding 2027 Green ATV, Snowmobile, and Watercraft Renewal Stickers!

We are happy to announce that we have received the new green stickers from the DNR! 🎉 Earlier delays were caused by the DNR’s paper vendor not delivering stickers to all deputy offices, including ours.

However, the grace period has now ended, and all ATV must now have registration stickers showing years 25, 26, or 27.

If your tags are expired, please visit Falls License Bureau at your earliest convenience to renew your registration and get your green stickers.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
