How do I obtain a REAL ID non-driver license in Missouri?

To obtain a REAL ID non-driver license in Missouri, here’s the information you need regarding cost and required documents:

Cost:

A Missouri Nondriver Identification Card that is REAL ID compliant costs the same as a non-REAL ID compliant one:

• $12 for a three-year expiration
• $18 for a six-year expiration

Information and Documents You Need to Bring:

You will need to present original, valid, and unexpired documents to verify the following:

1. Identity and Date of Birth: (One document)
   • Valid, unexpired U.S. passport or passport card
   • Certified U.S. Birth Certificate (original, with an embossed, stamped, or raised seal)
   • Certificate of Naturalization
   • Certificate of Citizenship
   • Valid, unexpired Permanent Resident Card
   • Other documents may be accepted for non-U.S. citizens, such as a valid foreign passport with a U.S. visa and I-94.
2. Lawful Status in the United States: (One document)
   • Many of the documents listed for Identity can also fulfill this requirement if they prove U.S. citizenship or immigration status.
3. Social Security Number (SSN): (One document containing your name and full SSN)
   • Social Security card (must be signed if 18 or older, cannot be laminated)
   • W-2 form
   • SSA-1099 form
   • Non-SSA-1099 form
   • Pay stub with your name and SSN on it
   • In some cases, if you have a current Missouri license or permit with a previously verified SSN on file, you may be able to verbally provide your number.
4. Missouri Residency: (Two acceptable documents from two different sources, showing your name and residential address)
   • Any document issued by the state of Missouri, a county, city, or the federal government.
   • Bank or financial statement
   • Government check or pay stub
   • Utility bill (phone, water, gas, electric, trash, or sewer)
   • Mortgage, housing, or leasing document
   • MO Voter registration card
   • Driver License Renewal Post Card or Motor Vehicle Renewal Post Card
   • Education Transcript for current school year from an educational institution in Missouri
5. Name Change (if applicable): (Certified original documents if your current legal name is different from the name on your identity/lawful status document)
   • Certified Marriage License
   • Certified Divorce Decree
   • Certified Adoption Papers
   • Amended Birth Certificate

Important Notes:

• All documents must be original, valid, and unexpired. Photocopies and faxes are generally not accepted for original documents.
• Your current Missouri driver’s license, even if it’s not REAL ID compliant, does not affect your ability to get a REAL ID non-driver license.
• Allow 10-15 business days to receive your REAL ID non-driver license in the mail, as Missouri uses a central issuance system. You will receive a temporary document at the time of application.
• You must notify the person assisting you at the license office that you wish to apply for a REAL ID-compliant document.
• It’s highly recommended to use the Missouri Department of Revenue’s interactive guide or review their full list of acceptable documents to ensure you have everything you need before visiting a license office.
