How can I renew my license plates?
Missouri license plates may be renewed up to six months before expiration and must be renewed by the last day of the expiration month. There are four convenient
renewal options:
Online:
You may be eligible to
renew online
;
Phone:
Call 573-751-1957 to see if you are eligible to renew over the phone. This service is available Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Your local license office may also provide phone-in renewal services. Visit
https://dor.mo.gov/license-office-locator/
for more information.
Mail:
You may
renew by mail
following the instructions on your Vehicle Registration Renewal Notice.
In Person:
You may visit any
Missouri license office
.
Because it’s easy to put things off, the busiest time in license offices is near the end of each month. If you plan ahead and visit any
Missouri license office
earlier than
that, you will have a quicker visit. Make sure you read your renewal notice and have your paperwork ready to go, and your license office visit will run smoothly.
NOTE:
You may only obtain two year-registration for an
even model year vehicle in an even calendar year
, or for an
odd model year vehicle in an
odd calendar year. | |||||||||

**NOTE:** A [\$5 renewal penalty](https://dor.mo.gov/motor-vehicle/additional-help-resources.html#penalties) will be charged if you renew your plates after the expiration date. This fee may be waived if the military applicant submits official orders from the appropriate military authority as evidence of military service and the date of discharge. The renewal must be processed within 60 days after completion of military service, and the vehicle may not be operated during the period the registration is expired.
**NOTE:** Upon returning to Missouri, the vehicle must be safety inspected (and emissions inspected, if applicable) within 10 days.
## How can I renew my license plates?
Missouri license plates may be renewed up to six months before expiration and must be renewed by the last day of the expiration month. There are four convenient renewal options:
- **Online:** You may be eligible to [renew online](https://sa.dor.mo.gov/mv/More/);
- **Phone:** Call 573-751-1957 to see if you are eligible to renew over the phone. This service is available Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Your local license office may also provide phone-in renewal services. Visit [https://dor.mo.gov/license-office-locator/](https://dor.mo.gov/license-office-locator/) for more information.
- **Mail:** You may [renew by mail](https://dor.mo.gov/contact/motor-vehicle-licensing-information.html "Motor Vehicle Licensing Contact Info") following the instructions on your Vehicle Registration Renewal Notice.
- **In Person:** You may visit any [Missouri license office](https://dor.mo.gov/license-office-locator/).
Because it’s easy to put things off, the busiest time in license offices is near the end of each month. If you plan ahead and visit any [Missouri license office](https://dor.mo.gov/license-office-locator/) earlier than that, you will have a quicker visit. Make sure you read your renewal notice and have your paperwork ready to go, and your license office visit will run smoothly.
**NOTE:** You may only obtain two year-registration for an ***even model year vehicle in an even calendar year***, or for an ***odd model year vehicle in an odd calendar year.***
