Missouri Driver Licenses and Nondriver Licenses

In December 2012, the Missouri Department of Revenue introduced the latest improvements to driver licenses and nondriver licenses.  These changes protect your identity and help decrease fraud. The new system means the end of the over-the-counter driver license system that had been in place since the 1990s, and allowed the Department to install substantially more modern technology.

Effective April 1, 2017, Missouri instruction permit, driver license, and nondriver identification card documents will be modified to remove the Director of Revenue signature displayed above the applicant photo area of the printed document. This change will not affect the requirements or procedures for issuance of the document and the previously issued formats containing the Director of Revenue’s signature remain valid until the expiration date of the document.

Restrictions

If you have limited driving experience or a medical condition that impairs your ability to drive safely, you may receive a restricted license permitting you to drive only under certain conditions. Those coded restrictions and conditions will be placed on your license. You may be required to take a driving test in order to have a restriction removed from your license. A list of these restrictions can be found on page 12 of the Missouri Driver Guide.

Endorsements

Endorsements are just the opposite of restrictions because they qualify you to do things you couldn’t do without the endorsement. The following endorsement is available for your non-commercial (class F, E, or M) Missouri driver license.

  • Motorcycle License (M) — You must have a Class M license or permit (or a driver license with the M endorsement) if you operate a motorcycle or motortricycle on public roadways. You will need to pass the Class F and Class M written, vision, road sign, and motorcycle skills tests. Graduated driver license requirements will apply to Class M license applicants between the ages of 16 and 18. See the Graduated Driver Licenserequirements for details. For more information about Missouri's motorcycle laws, see the Motorcycle Operator Manual
  • School Bus (S) — A school bus endorsement is required for anyone transporting students from school to home, home to school, and to and from school-sponsored events. A school bus endorsement may be issued to drivers age 21 or older who hold a Class E (referred to as a "for-hire" or "chauffeur") license or a commercial license with a Passenger (P) endorsement. A school bus endorsement can be suspended for one year if a person fails to pass any drug, alcohol, or chemical test administered in accordance with any federal or state law, rule, or regulation regarding the operation of a school bus. Missouri law has special operating regulations for school buses. If you need more information on school buses, contact the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, Division of Administrative and Financial Services — School Transportation by e-mail: webreply@dmpt.dese.mo.gov, phone: (573) 751-0357, or fax: (573) 526-6898.

Additional endorsements are available if you have a Commercial Driver License (CDL).
