MORE THAN ONE THING CHANGES ON YOUR BIRTHDAY… YOU TURN A YEAR OLDER AND SO DOES YOUR MISSOURI DRIVER’S LICENSE.
THE MISSOURI DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES OR THE LICENSE BUREAU AS MANY OF US CALL IT…. THE LOCAL MISSOURI HIGHWAY PATROL, THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, AND YOUR LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT REMIND YOU THAT AN EXPIRED DRIVER’S LICENSE CAN COST YOU UP TO $133.OO AS A TRAFFIC VIOLATION FINE.
YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE EXPIRES EVERY 6 YEARS…… UNTIL YOU REACH THE AGE OF 70 AND THEN YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE WILL EXPIRE EVERY 3 YEARS.
WHEN YOU ARE BLOWING OUT YOUR BIRTHDAY CANDLES… REMEMBER TO CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE ON YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE…. JUST LIKE REMEMBERING TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES IN YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR WITH THE CHANGE IN DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME.
LICENSE BUREAU OFFICES, DO NOT HAVE A STATUTE OR LAW TO REMIND YOU OF UPCOMING EXPIRATION DATES OF YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE, IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REMIND YOU… SO IT IS UP TO YOU TO REMEMBER TO CHECK YEARLY.
AFTER YOUR EXPIRATION DATE YOU HAVE 180 DAYS TO RENEW YOUR LICENSE BEFORE IT BECOMES MANDATORY TO RE-TAKE THE DRIVER’S LICENSE TEST.
A DRIVER’S LICENSE CAN BE RENEWED BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE… BUT KEEP IN MIND- THERE IS NO GRACE PERIOD AFTER YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE EXPIRES… WHEN IT’S OVER- IT’S OVER AND IF YOU GET STOPPED WITH AN EXPIRED DRIVER’S LICENSE IT WILL COST YOU A $133.00 FINE ….
SO WHEN YOU BLOW OUT YOUR BIRTHDAY CANDLES…. CHECK THE EXPIRATION DATE ON YOUR DRIVER’S LICENSE AND SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF TROUBLE.
