The Driving Record and the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services, which adds each conviction the court reports and handles suspensions; the court does not issue driving records.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
A DWI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before Driver and Vehicle Services (see Brooklyn Park DUI).
