You do not simply walk into the nearest license office and pay their fee on file. You need all of the following documents and information to get your renewal completed in Missouri:

2. Your Missouri safety inspection or emissions inspection certificate -- must have been completed within 60 days from the current date.

How Long Do You Have to Renew Your Registration After It Expires in Missouri?

You're still able to renew your vehicle after the expiration date. However, you'll have to pay a $5 penalty fee for doing so. Once the month is up, and your vehicle has still not been renewed, you may be heavily ticketed if you get pulled over.

Do You Have to Renew Your Car Registration Every Year in Missouri?

In many states, car registration renewal occurs annually. Each year, you have to head back into the license office or DMV and get your vehicle registered for the next 12 months. However, Missouri also offers two-year renewals. You'll pay more at once but won't have to worry about completing the process again for another 24 months.
