There should be a written document revoking, suspending or cancelling a driver's license in Minnesota. It could be given to the person by the p9olice officer or jailer. Or it could arrive in the mail, at the address on the license. Verbal notice would not be adequate. A person can call a "Driver Evaluator" at the Minnesota Department of Public Safety with questions about their driver's license status. Or the person could check the status of their driver's license (valid or invalid) on a web page of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, by typing in their DL number. To say more would require more information about what happened. You may want to call a lawyer on the phone.
