The Camdenton DMV is a part-time office in a shared building

Camdenton does not have a full-time Missouri Department of Revenue office. Instead, the city shares a part-time driver license office located at 313 Madrid Avenue, Camdenton, MO 65020. This office handles driver license renewals, replacements, and some identification services, but it operates on limited hours — typically two or three days per week, and the schedule changes seasonally.

Because hours shift throughout the year, calling ahead is not optional. Contact the office at (573) 346-2227 before you go. The staff can tell you whether the office is open that day and whether you need an appointment or can walk in. Many people in Camdenton drive to the larger full-service office in nearby Osage Beach or Jefferson City if they need services the part-time office does not provide.

Key Takeaways

  • The Camdenton driver license office is part-time and located at 313 Madrid Avenue; call (573) 346-2227 to confirm hours before visiting.
  • This office handles driver license renewals and replacements but may not offer all services a full-time office provides.
  • For vehicle registration, title work, or services not available in Camdenton, you will need to visit a full-service office in Osage Beach or Jefferson City.
  • Bring your current driver license or ID, proof of residency, and any documents related to the specific service you need.

What services the Camdenton office handles

The part-time office in Camdenton focuses on driver license and identification card services. You can renew an expiring or expired driver license, replace a lost or damaged license, and update your address on your license. The office also issues Missouri identification cards for people who do not drive.

The office does not handle vehicle registration, title transfers, or vehicle-related transactions. Those services require a visit to a full-service office. If you need to register a vehicle, transfer a title, or handle a lien, you must go to Osage Beach (about 20 minutes away) or Jefferson City (about 45 minutes away).

Documents to bring for a driver license renewal or replacement

For a driver license renewal, bring your current Missouri driver license and proof that you live in Missouri. Proof of residency can be a utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days and showing your current address.

If you are renewing an expired license, the same documents explore. If you are replacing a lost or stolen license, bring your current ID (passport, military ID, or state ID) and proof of residency. If your name has changed since your last license, bring a court order, marriage certificate, or divorce decree showing the change.

You will also need to pay the renewal or replacement fee. Missouri charges different amounts depending on the type of license and how long it is valid. Ask the office staff for the current fee when you call to confirm hours.

When to use Osage Beach or Jefferson City instead

The Osage Beach office, located at 3515 Missouri Boulevard, handles all driver license services plus vehicle registration and title work. It is open full-time and can process transactions the same day in most cases. If you need to register a vehicle, transfer a title, or handle a lien, Osage Beach is your closest option.

Jefferson City is the state capital and home to the main Missouri Department of Revenue office. It offers every service the state provides and is the backup location if you cannot reach Camdenton or need something the part-time office cannot do. The drive from Camdenton is longer, but the office has more staff and shorter wait times for complex transactions.

Address changes and renewal by mail

Missouri allows you to renew your driver license by mail if your license is not expired and you are renewing for the first time at that address. You can also update your address by mail without renewing your license. Contact the Camdenton office or visit the Missouri Department of Revenue website to request a mail renewal or address-change form.

Mail renewal takes longer than in-person renewal — typically two to three weeks — so plan ahead if your license is expiring soon. If your license has already expired, you must renew in person at a driver license office.

Identification cards for non-drivers

If you do not drive but need a state-issued photo ID, the Camdenton office issues Missouri identification cards. These cards work for age verification, banking, and other situations where you need a government-issued ID. Bring proof of residency and your Social Security number or a document showing it (birth certificate, passport, or W-2).

The fee for an identification card is lower than a driver license fee. The card is valid for several years, and you can renew it by mail or in person before it expires.

Can I renew my driver license online in Missouri?

What if the Camdenton office is closed when I need to renew?
