Five current employees at two deputy registrar offices have had their access to Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services Division (DPS-DVS) data permanently revoked after an audit showed unlawful searches.
According to DVS, an employee at the Fairfax Deputy Registrar s office used another employee s credentials, which is illegal. That triggered an audit, which uncovered seven other instances where two employees accessed DVS data without a lawful purpose. As state law requires, their access to DVS data has been permanently revoked.
DVS said they were the only two employees of the Fairfax office, meaning the location will close temporarily until new employees can be hired and trained. No timeline for a reopening was given.
