I've been out of state for the last two weeks, while go the trip I realized I needed to renew my Missouri drivers license on August 23 (my birthday) ......anyway I just got back last nite....totally slipped my mind today until it was to late.....
I was trying to figure out if somehow I'm screwed in some way because I forgot and I found this on the Missouri DMV's website.

DRIVER LICENSE RENEWAL

To help you remember to renew your license, a reminder postcard will be mailed to you before your license expires.

The postcard will be mailed to the address on your driving record. However, if you have completed a change of address with the U.S. Postal Service, the notice will be mailed to your new address. When you move, be sure you send a written notice with your new address to the Customer Assistance Bureau, or e-mail us at dlbmail@mail.dor.state.mo.us, or you may not receive the notice to renew your license.

When you renew your license, you must pay the license fee shown on the front of your renewal postcard. You can renew your license no earlier than 6 months before your license expires.

You are also required to take a vision test and a highway sign recognition test when you renew. The highway sign recognition test will test your ability to understand highway signs that regulate, warn or direct traffic.


It is your responsibility to renew your driver license, even if you do not receive your reminder postcard. Failure to do so may result in having to re-take the written/skills tests.

That's BS if I have to take the crap over again, also what in the heck do they freaking mean by "May Result"
Either you do or frigging don't....as a govt site shouldn't they clarify?
BTW I never received any damn card.

The last time I renewed my license I had to take the test (speeding tickets). They made most of the questions very obvious.

I tried to renew my license online, but they want a new picture. :(

I called for new insurance last year. Agent says, "You probably don't realize your license is suspended?" She was correct. "It was suspended 19 months ago because of an unpaid speeding tix."

So, I had been nearly 2 years on a suspended license. Been across the country. Glad I never got into trouble.

When I got it renewed, the state's webpage made it sound like I'd have to take the tests again. However, I only had to the eye test and get a new pic.

I failed mine. Took it again 15 minutes later - never cracked the book.. and easily passed. Just depends on your random questions...

that's the case for NYS. you gotta love our written test. 20 multiply choice and you can fail 5 questions still passing.

you can't do it like that here. if you failed the written test, the earliest you can take it again is the next day.

Got it renewed today, only had to take the eye test and road sign test which is what everybody has to do.

I'm glad I didn't have to mess with the rest of it...I would have been somewhat ticked
