License and Identification Requirements
In Missouri, all the residents and non-residents that are applying for a driver’s license should obtain a REAL ID or a non-driver ID. To reduce the fraud level in the state all the applicants for driver’s licenses have to provide identity verification. There are three main types of verification: Primary, Secondary, or Supporting IDs.
The personal data must match other specified info. That is your birthdate, full name, etc. must be the same on all of them. However, in case you have recently had a name change, you may submit a legal name change notice. What concerns other data differences, it’s recommended to contact the DOT and check the steps you have to follow.
Note that all documents must be either originals or certified copies. Laminating certified documents is not recommended. Photocopies will not be allowed.
