Missouri DOR Permit Application: Digital Process and Form 100 (2026)

For most Missouri residents applying in person, there is no specific application form number like a DL-44. The Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) uses a digital application process generated at the license office counter, which relies entirely on your Driver Examination Record (Form 100).

Study the rules in the Missouri Driver Guide PDF before your written test.

What Is the Official Missouri Instruction Permit Form Number?

The key document is the Driver Examination Record (Form 100): this is not a form you download and fill out at home.

It is an official test record issued by the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) only after you pass your written and vision exams. Download a sample Form 100 to see what it looks like.

• Form 100 is your entry ticket to apply for the permit at a DOR license office.
• There is generally no printable PDF application for a standard first-time permit.
• The only exception is for active-duty military or dependents stationed out of state, who may use Form 4317 (Mail-In Driver License Application). If you are in Missouri, appear in person with your Form 100.

What happens if I lose my Missouri Form 100 before going to DOR?

Do not try to replace it with a form you print and complete yourself. Form 100 is the Driver Examination Record issued through MSHP testing. Contact the examination station for replacement instructions before going to DOR, because DOR requires the MSHP examination record for a first-time permit transaction.

How Does Missouri's Digital DOR Permit Application Work?

You do not fill out a paper application form yourself. The 'application' is a digital interview conducted by a clerk at a DOR License Office after you have your Form 100.

Follow this two-step process:

1. Step 1: Get Form 100 from the MSHP. Visit a Missouri State Highway Patrol Exam Station. Pass the 25-question written exam (score 80% or 20 correct) and vision test. The examiner will give you your Form 100.
2. Step 2: Complete the Digital Application at the DOR. Take your signed Form 100 to a DOR License Office. The clerk will scan your form, pull up your data, and generate the digital application. Verify and sign the information on an electronic pad.

The clerk will enter your personal details, ask mandatory medical questions, and prompt for voter registration (if 17) and organ donor decisions. Review all information on the screen before signing.

Can Parents Complete the Missouri Permit Application for Their Teen

A parent or guardian must appear in person to sign the parental consent statement at the DOR counter. A notarized consent form is accepted only for specific circumstances. Ink signatures are required, not pencil.

No, you must sign the application yourself at the license office to verify your identity and details.

Complete Missouri permit details are on the Missouri permit guide.

• The Teen (Applicant): Signs the digital application pad.
• The Parent/Guardian: Signs the Parent or Guardian Permission Statement in person at the office. Or use a notarized form if required by the office.

One Columbia applicant's mom had a work conflict and arrived 18 minutes late. The teen had already passed their written test solo, a supervisor allowed Mom to sign consent at the counter that afternoon, and the permit was issued same day. Some Missouri supervisors allow this same-day sign approach, but don't count on it. Coordinate your parent's schedule before booking.

How Do You Fix Mistakes on a Missouri Instruction Permit Application?

Catch errors before signing the DOR verification screen. If Form 100 is wrong, ask the MSHP station to correct it before you leave. If the DOR clerk enters something incorrectly, ask for the correction before you sign and complete the transaction.

If you discover an error after the permit has been issued, use the dedicated permit-error correction process. The current Class F duplicate permit fee is $10 when a paid duplicate is required.

What if I notice an error on Form 100 after leaving the MSHP station?

Have the examination record corrected before DOR uses it for permit issuance. Contact or return to the MSHP examination station that issued the record and ask how to correct the test record rather than asking the DOR clerk to guess at the intended information.

What Form Errors Cause Missouri Permit Rejections?

The top form errors are name mismatches between the birth certificate and Form 100, outdated residency documents, and missing parent signatures. Each forces a return visit and a new appointment.

These real examples highlight frequent errors that cause delays.

Most errors happen because people rush through the verification screen. Slow down for 30 seconds and save yourself weeks of hassle.
