How to Prepare for Your Application Lab:

Our Application Labs can be attended virtually or in person, giving you flexibility to choose the format that works best for you. Each lab offers a 30-minute one-on-one session to help you complete your MN Promise Act application with personalized support.

If you choose a virtual session, please ensure you are able to upload all required documents digitally before or during your appointment. If this presents a challenge, we strongly recommend attending in person so our team can assist you directly.

To make the most of your time, please review the checklist below and come fully prepared with all required documents.

Identification

• Current (not expired) photo ID — state or federal-issued (e.g., driver’s license or passport)

Proof of Operating Address (one of the following only)

• Most recent year of filed tax return

• Utility bill (phone, TV, internet, electric, gas, water, or insurance)

• Current business lease or mortgage (signed and dated)

• Business or professional license (not personal)

Financial Documents

• Complete and filed tax return (most recent tax year)

• Voided check for direct deposit verification — must be a bank-provided paper check that includes the business name, account number, routing number, and bank institution. Images of both the front and back are required.

  • Note: Direct deposit forms will not be accepted.

• W-9 Form

• Automated Clearing House (ACH) Document

Please ensure these forms are ready before your session so that you can receive the full benefit of your one-on-one support.

You are welcome to attend multiple labs for continued assistance, with a maximum of 5 total hours of grant support per person. Additional time may be granted if there are open slots following your scheduled appointment—just ask your WBC representative.
