The health services have advised that the best sources of current and regularly updated information are on the MN Department of Health website www.health.state.mn.us.

There are instructions on this website on steps that you and your family can think about now in advance of an emergency.

Members of the public with questions about the current international outbreak of H1N1 influenza can call the Minnesota Department of Health hotline between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at 1-800-657-3903.

Our office can process vehicle title transfers, vehicle registration renewals, passport applications, hunting and fishing licenses, limited drivers licenses (if you moved or lost your license), and we have a variety of specialty license plates.

Customers may have their license tab renewals processed in a timely manner without having to stand in line.  Just place your license tabs statement along with a check payable to the City of Robbinsdale (in an envelope marked “Motor Vehicle”) into the Utility Drop Box located in front of City Hall. License tabs will be picked up daily at 8 am on regular business days (Mon-Fri) and will be ready for pick-up after 12 noon the following business day (Mon-Fri).  If you are unable to pick up your tabs at the end of the following business day, they will be mailed out to you at no extra charge.

The City of Robbinsdale has a new program to offer savings on prescription drugs to residents who are without health insurance, a traditional benefits plan, or have prescriptions that are not covered by insurance.

The Prescription Discount Card is made available to residents by the City of Robbinsdale in collaboration with the National League of Cities (NLC) and is made possible through Robbinsdale's membership in NLC.

The card is FREE to all Robbinsdale residents, regardless of age, income or existing health insurance. By using this card you may save an average of 20% off the regular retail price of prescription drugs at participating pharmacies.

To discover the savings and learn more about the program, CLICK HERE  to access the program online and print a card, check drugs prices and locate participating pharmacies.

Residents may also pick up a card at City Hall's Information Desk as well as the Motor Vehicle Office, or for more information, call toll free: 1-888-620-1749.

This is not insurance. Discounts are only available at participating pharmacies. By using this card, participants agree to pay the entire prescription cost less any applicable discount. Savings may vary by drug and pharmacy.
