Assuming we are talking about a Minnesota driving-related alleged violation or offense, the court would not "certify" a conviction to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, in the event of a stay of adjudication. Why? Because the court will certify driving realted convictions, and a stay of adjudication is not a conviction.
