Study Notes

Driver Examination Overview

The driver examination in Missouri consists of four parts: written test, vision test, road sign test, and driving test (skills).

Who Needs to Take the Driver Exam

New applicants for a Missouri driver license must be prepared for the examination.
If holding a valid or recently expired (less than 184 days) out-of-state license, only vision and road sign tests are required for a Missouri license.
If a Missouri license has been expired for over 184 days, a full examination must be taken.
An examination is also necessary if requested by the Director of Revenue or if a license has been revoked due to excessive points or specific alcohol-related reasons.

Location for the Exam

The Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) administers the driver examination.
Testing center information can be obtained from MSHP or the Department of Revenue.
Locations are also available on the MSHP website.

Verification Requirements

Legal name and age must be verified before taking the driver exam.
Identification should be presented to the Department of Revenue for license applications and during tests.
Acceptable documents for verification include proof of name, date of birth, place of birth, social security number, and residential address.

Written Test Details

Class F (operator) license applicants must complete a 25-question multiple-choice written test covering traffic laws and safe driving.
The test is not open book and does not include commercial vehicle information from Chapter 15.
Class E (for-hire) license applicants take a specialized written test including commercial vehicle content from Chapter 15.

Vision Test Requirements

Applicants must complete both acuity and peripheral vision tests; minimum standards are 20/40 for acuity and 55 degrees for peripheral vision in each eye.
Use of glasses or contact lenses may be necessary for the vision test.
Failure to meet vision standards may result in denial of license or restrictions.
If acuity is worse than 20/160 or peripheral vision combined is poorer than 70 degrees, individuals cannot take the driving test or be issued a license.

Road Sign Test

This test assesses the ability to recognize and understand traffic signs.

Driving Test Details

After passing the written, vision, and road sign tests, the driving test can be taken with an MSHP examiner.
The examiner will check the vehicle for required equipment and safe operational condition.
The test cannot be conducted if the vehicle is not properly equipped or if it poses a safety risk.
Taking the test in a familiar vehicle is recommended for optimal performance.
