TRANSPORTATION \/ MOTOR VEHICLE INFORMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Drivers License<\/strong>
\nNew residents must immediately obtain a Missouri driver license. Bring your out-of-state driver license and one other acceptable proof of identity (commonly a social security card) to the nearest testing station. Testing in Missouri is performed by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. If your current license is valid and has not expired for more than 184 days, you will be required to take the vision and road sign tests only. No practical driving test will be necessary. First-time drivers must bring legal proof of age and social security card. Driver License offices are available throughout the area for your convenience. For the location of the office nearest you or more information, contact the Department of Revenue:<\/p>\n

Motor Vehicle Registration<\/strong>
\nNewcomers to Missouri must register and title their vehicles immediately. Prior to registration, vehicles must be inspected at an official inspection station; and the vehicle owner must obtain a tax clearance at the county courthouse. Automobiles in Missouri are taxed as personal property, and these taxes must be paid prior to registration. Documents required at the time of registration include vehicle title and tax clearance, safety inspection with confirmation of mileage, emissions testing verification, and proof of Missouri insurance. The same offices that title and register vehicles handle watercraft registration. For complete details on regulations and fees, contact:<\/p>\n

Safety Inspection & Emissions Testing<\/strong>
\nMissouri law requires certain motor vehicles to pass a vehicle safety and emissions inspection that is performed by an authorized inspection station prior to vehicle registration. The Missouri State Highway Patrol administers the vehicle safety inspection program. Check your local phone book business pages for names and locations of current safety inspection stations.

Mandatory Insurance<\/strong>
\nIt is illegal to drive a motor vehicle in Missouri without automobile liability insurance. Drivers must provide proof of insurance to any law enforcement official upon request, or a traffic ticket will be issued.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Safety Regulations<\/strong>
\nMissouri’s primary seat belt law requires all front seat occupants in passenger cars and persons under 18 years of age operating or riding in a truck to wear safety belts. Additionally, children ages four or older but less than 16 must be secured in a properly adjusted and fastened safety belt wherever seated in any motor vehicle. All children under age four who are riding in a motor vehicle must be secured in a child safety seat or vest. This includes all cars, pickup trucks, vans, and buses manufactured with safety belts.
