License Renewal for an Expired License

If your Missouri drivers license has been expired longer than six months you will be required to pass all four driver license tests – vision, writing, road sign, driving – in order to renew your license.

Reinstate License Without Testing


If your MO drivers license has been expired for less than six months, you'll need to visit any DOR office with:

  • Proof of Missouri residency.
  • Proof of lawful presence.
  • Either your expired drivers license or proof of identity.
  • Cash or a money order (only a select few DOR offices accept debit and credit cards) to pay either $10 (three-year license) or $20 (six-year license).
While applying, you'll also be required to pass a vision test and a road sign test.

Reinstate License With Testing


To prepare for the written test, study the state's drivers manual and take at least one practice permit test. When you're test-ready, visit any DOR office with:

  • Proof of Missouri residency.
  • Proof of lawful presence.
  • Either your expired drivers license or proof of identity.
  • Cash or a money order (only a select few DOR offices accept debit and credit cards) to pay all applicable fees.
While applying, you'll be required to pass three tests: vision, road sign, and written. Pass all three and you'll be eligible to take the driving license test at any Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) driver examination site. No appointment is needed. When you arrive at the test site, have with you:

  • Proof of name and date of birth.
  • A working vehicle that's legally inspected and insured.
  • Your permit.
If you pass, you'll receive a new Missouri drivers license.

Driving With Expired License

Do not attempt to drive with an expired license. If stopped, you'll be issued a traffic ticket along with a steep fine and points will be added to your driving record.
