Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 14, July 15, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment expands the Social Security
				  document requirements to permit verbal presentation of Social Security Number,
				  allows for a previously issued driver license to be used as proof of residency
				  for a REAL ID, and authorizes an opt-in process for longer retention of REAL ID
				  source documents.
(1) All
				applicants for a driver license, nondriver license, or instruction permit must
				provide one (1) or more documents, in English, that comply with each subsection
				below.
(A) Proof of Lawful Presence-proof of
				lawful presence must be shown for any new or renewal driver or nondriver
				license or instruction permit application. U.S. citizens who have previously
				verified lawful presence and the license record indicates such verification may
				not be required to show proof upon subsequent applications.
(B) Proof of Identity: Documents used for
				purposes of proving identity must contain the applicant's full legal name, date
				of birth, and match the person's current name unless a change of name is
				established by a marriage certificate, marriage license, amended birth
				certificate, divorce decree, or other court order. Only original documents or a
				photocopy, bearing an original certification by the issuing authority is
				acceptable.
1. In addition to the documents
				referenced in (1)(A)1.A.-F. above, the following documents may be used to
				establish proof of identity:

(C) Proof of Social Security
				Number: Applicants who have record of a previously verified Social Security
				number on file with the department may provide the Social Security number
				verbally at the time of application. However, the department may still require
				the applicant to provide a physical document to verify the Social Security
				number upon request. The following documents may be used to establish proof of
				Social Security number:
1. Social Security
				card;
2. W-2 Form;
3. 1099 - Form; or

				  Social Security number due to their work-authorization status must provide a
				  letter from the Social Security Administration indicating a Social Security
				  number will not be issued to them.
(D) Proof of Missouri Residency: "Residence
				address," "residence," or "resident address" is defined as the location at
				which a person has been physically present, and that the person regards as
				home. A residence address is a person's true, fixed, principal, and permanent
				home, to which a person intends to return and remain, even though currently
				residing elsewhere. A post office box is not allowed as a residential address.
