About Minnesota Department of Public Safety

The Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) is a state government agency headquartered in St. Paul that oversees a wide range of programs including Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS), state patrol, emergency communications, and other public safety initiatives. Within DPS, the DVS division manages driver licensing, vehicle titles and registrations, and related services for Minnesota residents. As part of modernizing its services, DPS/DVS operates “DVS Now” self‑service kiosks that allow motorists to renew vehicle registrations and perform certain other transactions without visiting a staffed office.([dps.mn.gov](https://dps.mn.gov/news/skip-line-get-your-tabs-our-dvs-now-kiosks?utm_source=openai))

The merchant descriptor “ITI*MN DPS KIOSK” indicates a transaction processed through a self‑service DVS registration kiosk in Minnesota, with ITI (Intellectual Technology, Inc.) providing the kiosk technology and payment processing behind the scenes. ITI is a Fort Wayne, Indiana–based vendor that operates DMV and motor vehicle kiosk systems for multiple states, including Minnesota; this explains the Fort Wayne reference in some card descriptors even though the transaction is for Minnesota registration services.([mystatekiosk.com](https://mystatekiosk.com/?utm_source=openai)) Charges typically represent vehicle registration renewal fees, duplicate registration or plate transactions, and associated convenience and card‑processing fees authorized under Minnesota law for self‑service kiosks.([dps.mn.gov](https://dps.mn.gov/news/skip-line-get-your-tabs-our-dvs-now-kiosks?utm_source=openai))

If you have questions about a charge from “MN DPS KIOSK,” first check your recent vehicle registration activity and any use of a Minnesota DVS Now kiosk at a deputy registrar office or participating retail location (such as select Cub Foods stores). Look for a kiosk receipt, renewal notice, or email confirmation that matches the date and amount. If something still looks incorrect, you can contact Minnesota DPS/DVS through the contact information on the DPS website or follow up with your local deputy registrar office; for kiosk‑specific technical issues, ITI provides support, but billing and fee questions about the underlying registration are handled by Minnesota DVS. You can also dispute unauthorized charges with your card issuer while DPS/DVS or your registrar investigates.([dps.mn.gov](https://dps.mn.gov/news/skip-line-get-your-tabs-our-dvs-now-kiosks?utm_source=openai))

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the charge labeled "ITI*MN DPS KIOSK" on my card statement?

This charge is from a Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) self‑service kiosk used to complete a motor vehicle transaction, most commonly a registration (tabs) renewal. ITI (Intellectual Technology, Inc.), a Fort Wayne–based kiosk vendor, appears in the descriptor because it operates the DVS Now kiosk and processes the card payment on behalf of Minnesota DPS/DVS.

Why does a Minnesota DPS kiosk charge mention Fort Wayne or ITI when I used a machine in Minnesota?

The kiosks used by Minnesota DVS are provided and operated by Intellectual Technology, Inc. (ITI), whose headquarters and merchant processing are based in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Even though you used a kiosk in Minnesota, the back‑end payment processing is run through ITI, which is why Fort Wayne and ITI can appear in the merchant descriptor while the underlying service is Minnesota DPS/DVS.

What types of transactions can create a MN DPS kiosk charge?

Common MN DPS kiosk charges include passenger vehicle or motorcycle registration renewals, duplicate registration or plate requests, and associated convenience and credit/debit card processing fees. Minnesota law allows self‑service kiosks to process these motor vehicle registration transactions and to add a kiosk convenience fee on top of standard state registration and filing fees.

How much does it usually cost to use a Minnesota DVS self‑service kiosk?

In addition to your normal registration fees and filing fees, Minnesota DVS Now kiosks typically add a convenience fee (for example, around $4–$5 per transaction) and a separate percentage‑based card processing fee when you pay by credit or debit card. Exact amounts can vary over time and by program rules, so compare the total charge on your statement to the fee breakdown that appeared on the kiosk screen and receipt.

How can I verify that a MN DPS kiosk charge is legitimate?

Match the transaction date and amount on your card statement to the date you used a DVS Now kiosk, then check any printed kiosk receipt or renewal notice you received. You can also log into Minnesota DVS online services or contact your local deputy registrar to confirm that a vehicle registration or related transaction was processed on that date for your license plate or VIN.

How do I get a receipt or record for a MN DPS kiosk transaction if I lost the printed slip?

If you misplaced your kiosk receipt, contact your local deputy registrar office or Minnesota DVS and provide your name, plate number, approximate transaction date, and last four digits of the card used. They may be able to locate the transaction in their system and provide documentation or confirm that your registration was successfully renewed.

What should I do if I believe a MN DPS kiosk charge is incorrect or unauthorized?

First, contact Minnesota DVS or your local deputy registrar office with the transaction date, amount, and the name on the card to determine whether the charge corresponds to any motor vehicle transaction in your name. If they cannot match it or you suspect fraud, notify your card issuer promptly to dispute the transaction and request a new card; you may also ask Minnesota DVS to flag any suspicious activity related to your vehicle records.

Can I get a refund for a MN DPS kiosk transaction if I made a mistake?

Refunds for Minnesota DPS kiosk transactions are limited because many fees relate to statutory registration charges that cannot be reversed once processed. If you made an error (such as renewing the wrong vehicle), contact Minnesota DVS or the deputy registrar that oversees the kiosk location as soon as possible. They can advise whether a correction, credit, or partial refund is allowed under Minnesota law for your specific situation.
