Identification Cards in Missouri

ID Cards in Missouri

Missouri non-driver photo identification cards (ID) can be used as an alternative form of identification if you don't have a driver's license. You can use a Missouri ID card to travel, do banking, and prove your age.

This page contains information on how to apply for a Missouri ID card, fees, renewing or replacing your Missouri ID card, and changing your name or address.

Missouri ID Card Eligibility Requirements

The Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) does NOT have a minimum age requirement to apply for a Missouri non-driver ID card. As long as you are a resident of Missouri, you may apply.

If you're a minor, your parent or guardian must supply your proof of identity and residency.

You cannot hold both a MO non-driver ID card and a U.S. driver's license or out-of-state ID card at the same time. Your out-of-state ID cards or licenses will be punched "VOID" when you apply for a MO ID card.

Apply for a Missouri Identification Card

You must apply for your Missouri non-driver ID card in person at a local DOR branch. The DOR does not take appointments for Missouri ID card applications.

You cannot apply online or by mail.

You will need:

  • To surrender any out-of-state ID cards or licenses to the MO DOR.
  • Your Social Security number (you do not need to bring in your Social Security card).
    • If you do not have a Social Security number, you need to bring a letter from the SSA regarding your SSN status.
  • Proof of name, and place and date of birth (e.g. U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport, or citizenship certificate).
  • Proof of Missouri residence (e.g. utility bill, pay check, or bank statement). Post office box addresses will not be accepted. You will also need to prove your mailing address if it is different than your physical address.
  • Proof of any name change, if applicable (e.g. certified marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order).
  • Payment for the $12 to $18 ID card fee.

A full list of accepted documents can be found online.
