How often must you renew your Missouri driver’s license?

In Missouri, a driver's license must be renewed every 6 years. The state allows drivers to maintain their licensing status with this renewal cycle, which is designed to ensure that the information on the license remains current and that drivers periodically reaffirm their ability to operate a vehicle. Renewal generally involves completing certain requirements which may include a vision test or providing updated personal information.

Other options, while plausible, don't reflect the actual renewal period established by Missouri law. For example, renewing every 2 years would mean more frequent visits to the Department of Revenue, which is unnecessary based on the state's evaluation of driving capacity and monitoring. Similarly, 4, 6, and 8-year renewal periods don't match the legal mandate set forth by the Missouri DOR. Understanding the 6-year renewal period helps in planning for renewal and ensures compliance with state requirements.
