Getting licensed in Missouri
Instruction Permit (Stage 1): Available at age 15. Applicant must pass the vision, road-sign, and written tests at a Missouri State Highway Patrol examination station, and a qualified adult must sign a permission statement. The permit holder must always be accompanied by a licensed driver age 21+ in the front seat.
Intermediate License (Stage 2): Available at age 16 after holding the instruction permit at least 182 days, with no alcohol-related offenses in the last 12 months and no traffic convictions in the last 6 months. A qualified adult (parent/guardian or grandparent) must certify 40 hours of supervised driving (including at least 10 hours at night). The applicant must pass the driving (road) test. Restrictions: a curfew of 1:00 a.m.–5:00 a.m. (with exceptions for school, work, or emergencies, or with a 21+ licensed driver), and for the first 6 months no more than one passenger under age 19 who is not immediate family.
Full (Under-21) License (Stage 3): Available at age 18 (or upon turning 18 while holding an intermediate license), removing the curfew and passenger restrictions. Adults 18+ may move directly from permit to full license after passing the driving test.
