Yes, you’re required to have front and rear license plates on your Missouri vehicle, although there may be exceptions for some vehicles. Having dual license plates make it easier to identify a Missouri vehicle, whether for law enforcement purposes or for drivers who need to ID a vehicle for insurance liability issues.
As a bonus, having two license plates also makes it easier for you to pick out a Missouri-based vehicle you’re interested in learning more about!
If you spot a vehicle without a front license plate, there’s a good chance it’s a visitor from another state. But if you’re still interested in learning more about that vehicle, we can be of assistance. We can provide info from license plate lookups for every state, especially nearby Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Nebraska, and Texas  just to name a few.
