The Florissant DMV location and hours
Florissant has one Missouri Department of Revenue office that handles driver's licenses, vehicle registration, and ID cards. It is located at 11 Levee Road, Florissant, MO 63033, in the northern part of the city near the Missouri River. This is the only full-service DMV in Florissant itself, though you can also visit offices in nearby Ferguson, Hazelwood, or St. Louis if that works better for your schedule.
Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The office is closed on Sundays and state holidays. Wait times are typically shortest early in the morning on weekdays and during the first hour on Saturday. The office does not take appointments, so you arrive and take a number.
Parking is available in a lot adjacent to the building. The office is accessible to people with mobility needs. If you need to reach the office by phone before you go, the main Missouri DMV customer service line is 573-526-2407, though wait times to speak to someone can be long during peak hours.

What you need for a driver's license or ID card
To get a new driver's license or renew one in Missouri, bring your Social Security number (or a document showing it), proof of your current address, and a valid form of ID. Proof of address can be a utility bill, lease, mortgage statement, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days. A valid ID can be a passport, military ID, or an out-of-state driver's license.
If you are renewing and your address has not changed, you can often do this online through the Missouri DMV website without visiting the office. If you are getting a license for the first time or your address has changed, you must come in person. Bring the original documents, not copies — the staff will make copies for the file.
If you are under 18, a parent or legal guardian must be present. If you are over 70, you may be required to take a vision test and a written test, even for renewal. Bring your current license if you have one.
Vehicle registration and title transfers in Florissant
To register a vehicle or transfer a title at the Florissant office, bring your current vehicle registration, the title (or a bill of sale if you do not have the title yet), proof of ownership, and proof of your current address. If you have just moved to Florissant from another state or another part of Missouri, bring proof of your new address — a utility bill or lease works.
Missouri requires you to register a vehicle within 30 days of moving to the state or changing your address. If you are registering a vehicle you just bought, you have 30 days from the date of purchase. Bring the bill of sale or purchase agreement along with the title process form (Form 108).
Registration renewal can be done online if your vehicle passed inspection and you have no outstanding violations. You can renew up to one year before your registration expires. If you need to renew in person, the office will print your new registration sticker on the spot.
Online services that may save you a trip
Missouri's DMV website allows you to renew your driver's license online if you meet certain conditions: your license is not expired by more than five years, you have no medical restrictions, and your address has not changed. You will need your current license number and the last four digits of your Social Security number. The renewal takes about 10 minutes and costs the same as renewing in person.
Vehicle registration renewal is also available online if your vehicle has passed inspection and you have no outstanding tickets or violations. You can pay by credit card or debit card. The new registration sticker will be mailed to you within one to two weeks.
If you need to change your address on your driver's license without renewing it, you can do that online as well. This is useful if you have just moved and your license is still valid for several years. Address changes online are free.
Nearby DMV offices if Florissant is too busy
If the Florissant office has a long wait on the day you plan to visit, you have other options in the St. Louis area. Ferguson has a DMV office at 10 South Florissant Road, about 5 miles south of Florissant, with the same hours. Hazelwood has an office at 8701 New Halls Ferry Road, about 3 miles north. Both offices handle the same services and accept the same documents.
St. Louis city also has multiple DMV locations, though they tend to be busier than the suburban offices. The downtown St. Louis office is at 301 West High Street. All Missouri DMV offices are part of the same system, so your transaction will be recorded the same way regardless of which office you visit.
You can check current wait times at some offices through the Missouri DMV website before you leave home, though not all locations report this information in real time. Calling ahead is not possible, but arriving early in the morning or on a Tuesday or Wednesday typically means shorter waits than Friday or Saturday.
What to know about Missouri driver's license requirements
Missouri driver's licenses are valid for six years for people under 70 and four years for people 70 and older. You will need to pass a vision test and a written test if you are getting a license for the first time or if your license has been expired for more than five years. If you are renewing and your license is still valid, you usually skip the tests.
Missouri is a REAL ID compliant state, which means licenses issued after May 2023 meet federal standards for air travel and entry to federal buildings. If you need to fly domestically or enter a federal facility, your Missouri license will work. If you have an older license, you can still use it for domestic flights until May 2025, but after that you will need either a REAL ID-compliant license or a passport.
If you have a commercial driver's license (CDL), renewal and testing rules are different and more strict. CDL holders must renew in person and pass a medical exam. The Florissant office handles CDL renewals, but if you need a CDL for the first time, you may need to visit a larger office that has a testing lane.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I renew my driver's license by mail in Missouri?
No, Missouri does not offer mail-in renewal for driver's licenses. You can renew online if your license is not expired by more than five years and your address has not changed. Otherwise, you must visit a DMV office in person.
How long does it take to get a new driver's license after I explore?
If you explore in person at the Florissant office, you will receive a temporary paper license on the spot that is valid for 30 days. Your permanent license will be mailed to you within one to two weeks. If you renew online, the new license is mailed within the same timeframe.
Do I need an appointment at the Florissant DMV?
No, the Florissant office does not take appointments. You arrive during business hours, take a number, and wait your turn. Arriving early in the morning or mid-week typically means a shorter wait than afternoons or Saturdays.
What if I moved to Florissant from out of state?
You have 30 days to get a Missouri driver's license and register your vehicle. Bring your out-of-state license, proof of your new address, your Social Security number, and your vehicle title and registration. The Florissant office will process both at the same visit if you bring all documents.
Can I get a Real ID at the Florissant office?
