After over an hour on the phone and internet trying to figure out what I need to do to get a MN license and car registration, I finally extracted the following information from a knowledgeable, but not helpful, government official:
To register my car I get to go to an office near my home, stand in line, give no proof whatsoever that I am a MN resident, or that I have current insurance on the vehicle, and pay $195 (for a year!) and then they will give me my plates.
To get my MN license I go to a building 25 minutes away, stand in line, provide 2 pieces of identification (neither of which are proof that I am a MN resident), take a written exam, pay $24, smile pretty for the camera and walk out with my license.
Any bets on how long those things will take me? I'm betting an entire day wasted. Maybe I need to spread my Post Office visits and DMV visits out a little more. I really get the phrase "going postal" now. Drives me crazy!!!

I tell you, you need to keep your old license. It's the only way I know which one your cars is (and the fact that there is duct tape on it). I don't have to work tomorrow morning. Want me to come over so you can stand in line and smile prettily?
Another written exam huh, crazy, i think we only changed all that in PA and they just wanted our money
