New & Teen Drivers

In order to apply for a driver license in Missouri, you must be at least 16 years of age. If you are 21 years of age or older, you are required to pass a vision screening, knowledge exam, road signs exam, and road test in order to apply for your full driver license. If you are under 21 years of age, you are subject to the graduated driver license program, which begins at age 15. If you are at least 15 years of age, pass a vision screening, knowledge exam, and road signs exam, you may apply for an instruction permit. If you are at least 16 years old, have held an instruction permit for at least 6 months, and pass a road test, you may upgrade your instruction permit to an intermediate license. If you are at least 18 years of age and have an intermediate license, you may apply for a full driver’s license.

Who has to take the written test?

Anyone who is getting their driver's license for the first time must pass the written test. Teens can take the test if they are at least 15 years old in order to receive their instruction permit, which they must hold for 184 days before they can take an on-road test to receive an intermediate license.

Who has to take the on-road driving test?
