Minnesota permit to purchase

HisStigness · November 29, 2013, 08:41 PM

I'm new to the forum and I'm hoping somebody will be able to help me with my situation. I'm sure I'm not the first with this problem:

I was a Minnesota resident and I have a Minnesota driver's license and Minnesota plates on my car, etc. I got my permit to purchase last year while I was in high school and it is now time to renew it. The problem is that I go to school and live in the dorms at NDSU in North Dakota. So the question is what do I list as my place of residence? I don't want to get in trouble with falsifying information, but if I list my residence as North Dakota will they deny me for my permit to purchase? The paperwork for the permit has a section where you list "present residence address" and a section to list previous residence (past 5 years). I attached a link to the paperwork I am going to be filling out. Any help is appreciated.

Your place of residence is where you permanently live. I would think you would be a MN resident since your driver's license lists MN as your current residence. If you are a student, I would think you could claim you are there temporarily. If you have established residency in ND, then MN is just a memory and you have to apply in ND.
