Minnesota paying outside firm $26 million to tackle shift to Real ID

Minnesota has hired a Colorado IT firm for $26 million to handle the state’s driver’s license system as it gears up for a major change.

The job of FAST Enterprises will be to ensure that the state’s troubled new computer system, known as MNLARS, can take on driver’s licenses before an October 2018 deadline to ensure the state’s licenses comply with new federal Real ID requirements.
