Current processing time for Minnesota is 9 weeks. Processing begins once you have submitted all required documents through GoCertificates.com.

  • Shipping time is separate from processing time. Add both together for your total expected delivery window.
  • Processing time is determined by the Minnesota Department of Health, not GoCertificates. Times may vary based on current volume.

All applicants must submit a Notarized Sworn Statement and a copy of proof of relationship (if required). After placing your order, you will need to upload your Notarized Sworn Statement and proof of relationship (if required).
