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- An examination is also necessary if requested by the Director of Revenue or if a license has been revoked due to excessive points or specific alcohol-related reasons.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
