For TNC Drivers

MSP Airport requires all Lyft, uberX, uberXL, UberSELECT, and other app-based rideshare partners to obtain a permit and display a vehicle decal to complete rider pickups. Failure to display your permit will result in a $100 fine. 

To get your permit, start here: 

• Go to tncpermit.mspmac.org
• Fill out the MSP Airport permit form online—you will need to have your social security number & vehicle VIN
• Ensure your driver’s license is current and all documents are up-to-date

At your appointment:

• Show your driver's license
• Verify that you are an active user on your app
• Show a copy of your current vehicle inspection
• A permit fee of $25 per TNC will be charged by debit or credit card (cash will not be accepted)
• Verify and sign a copy of the form you submitted
• Airport staff will verify your information and provide you a decal for each vehicle as well as a paper driver's permit

After your appointment:

• Apply the decal to your windshield. MAC ordinance requires the decal to be permanently affixed on the middle of your windshield behind your rearview mirror
• Carry your paper driver’s permit with you or upload a photo of the permit to your app (if applicable) under “MSP Airport Permit”
