Missouri DMV

In Missouri, motor vehicle and driver services are part of the state's Department of Revenue, and they can be accessed through local License Offices. At a License Office, you can register your vehicle and apply for a title and plates. You can also apply for a new driver's license or state identification card, or renew an existing one. License Offices are located throughout the state. Hours and services may vary, so check with your local office for more details before you visit.

To register and title a new vehicle in Missouri, you will need to apply and pay the taxes within 30 days of buying the vehicle. When you apply, you will have to submit a certificate of title and ID/OD inspection. In some cases, additional information may be requested. You will also need to apply for license plates. For residents who just moved to Missouri, you will have to show proof of ownership of the vehicle, insurance, a current safety inspection (less than 60 days old), ID/OD inspection, and evidence that you do not owe any property taxes.

If you want to apply for a Missouri driver's license, you will need to bring in acceptable proof of identification and citizenship, such as your birth certificate or passport, your Social Security number, and proof of residence. If you are renewing your license, you do not need to bring this documentation with you unless your information has changed. Teen drivers can apply for a graduated driver license (GDL), which requires a three-step process before obtaining a standard license. At age 15, you can apply for an instruction permit, which requires parental consent, and you must pass vision, road, and written tests. Drivers between 16 and 18 can apply for an intermediate license if certain requirements are met. Once you turn 18, you can apply for an Under-21 Full License.
