Settling In
Driver and Vehicle Licenses
Newcomers to the state have 30 days after they
have established residency to file for a valid Missouri driver’s license and
vehicle plates.
Driver’s tests, both written and road, are
conducted on the Missouri State Fairgrounds at the Highway Patrol office on
Mondays and Tuesdays from 8 am until noon, and from 1 to 3 pm. If newcomers
have valid out-of-state licenses, only the written test is required. The
out-of-state license must be surrendered. Those who must take the tests are
asked to allow at least one-half hour for the driving portion of the test.
A Missouri operator’s license may be obtained at
the Pettis County Driver’s License Office, located in Thompson Hills Shopping
Center on W. Broadway, after completing a vision examination. The vision
examination is administered from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm and 1:30 to 4:30 pm,
Monday through Friday. Contact the license bureau at (660) 826-3316.
Newcomers must present their original Social
Security cards, or proof of their Social Security number, to obtain a driver’s
license.
Don’t forget, in Missouri wearing a seat belt in
an automobile is the law.
Animal Licenses
To secure a pet license, owners must certify
that pets have been vaccinated with anti-rabies vaccine when the animal is old
enough to receive it, as determined by a veterinarian. The pet license fee is
$2 if animals have been neutered or spayed, and $6 if they have not. There is a
limit of three pets.
Licenses may be obtained from the City Collector,
200 S. Osage, (660) 827-3000, and must be renewed annually.
