Missouri Permit Test & Driver’s License FAQ

Driver’s Permit FAQ

  • What is an instruction permit?

    A Missouri instruction permit is issued to beginning drivers as part of the state’s Graduated Driver License (GDL) system. It allows supervised driving for teens at least 15 years old. All drivers between the ages of 15 and 18 years old are required to obtain a permit as the first step in the GDL.

  • How do I get an instruction permit?

    Visit a Missouri State Highway Patrol driver examination station to pass a vision screening, road signs recognition test, and written knowledge test. Then, go to a license office with all the required documents to apply. If you're under 18, a parent or legal guardian must sign a permission statement.

  • What documents do I need to bring?

    • Proof of identification
    • Proof of lawful presence (for example birth certificate or U.S. passport)
    • Social Security number (for example Social Security card)
    • Proof of Missouri residency
    • Form 100 from the examination station proving you’ve passed the necessary exams

  • Are there any restrictions while driving with a permit?

    • If you are under 16, you must be accompanied by a driver who has been licensed for at least 3 years, parent, grandparents, legal guardian, or driving instructor
    • If you are over 16, you must be accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 years old with a valid license

    Additionally, seatbelts must be worn at all times and your permit must be carried at all times.

  • How long is a Missouri instruction permit valid?

    Your permit is valid for 12 months.

  • Is driver’s education required in Missouri?

    No, Missouri does not require a formal driver’s education course.

Driver’s License FAQ

  • What is an intermediate license?

    The intermediate license is the next step in the GDL and allows for unsupervised driving (with certain restrictions). It is available for drivers between the ages of 16 and 18 years old who have completed the permit phase.

  • What are the requirements to get an intermediate license?

    You must log 40 hours of supervised driving (with 10 of those hours occurring at night) before you can get this license and hold your permit for at least 182 days without traffic violations.

  • What are the driving restrictions?

    • May only drive with one passenger in your vehicle for the first six months.
    • After the first 6 months, you may not operate a motor vehicle with more than 3 passengers under 19 and not part of your immediate family.
    • May not drive from 1 am to 5 am, except to or from school, work, or religious activity. This does not apply if you are accompanied by a driver over the age of 21.
