All Licenses
The information/data provided as part of applications will be used by MDA staff to assess applicants' eligibility to be licensed by the MDA. Incomplete or inaccurate applications may result in a delay in the processing of an application or the denial of a license.
Minnesota law requires that all licensing authorities collect the social security number and Minnesota business tax identification number of all applicants (Minnesota Statutes, Section 270C.72). Applicant information, including social security numbers and Minnesota business tax identification numbers, will be provided to the Minnesota Department of Revenue upon request. Under the Federal Exchange of Information Agreement, the Department of Revenue may provide the data to the Internal Revenue Service. Social security numbers and Minnesota business tax identification numbers may be used to deny the issuance, renewal or transfer of a license in the event an applicant or licensee owes the Department of Revenue delinquent taxes, penalties or interest.
Some data provided on applications (including social security numbers) are classified under Minnesota law as private or nonpublic. At the MDA, data classified as private or nonpublic will be viewed and used only by authorized employees and contractors that require access to perform a valid work assignment.
Unless you consent to its release, sharing of private and nonpublic data will be limited to other entities authorized by law to receive the information and parties named in a valid court order or federal subpoena. By law, MDA may share private and nonpublic information with local, state or federal law enforcement, including the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, if MDA determines that such sharing would aid in the law enforcement process. MDA may be required to share the information with the Department of Revenue, the Internal Revenue Service, the Office of the Legislative Auditor or the Office of the State Auditor upon their request. In addition, private or nonpublic data may be shared with other government entities or made public if the MDA determines that there is a substantive threat to human health and safety or to the environment. In the event of a legal action, your information may be shared with the Minnesota Office of the Attorney General and possibly presented as evidence in court.
