MO HB1937

Domestic violence victims who cannot document their lawful presence in the United States may obtain a temporary instruction permit or driver's license for up to six months by presenting a certified letter from a domestic violence shelter

The certified letter must be issued by a domestic violence shelter as defined in section 455.200 and must assert that the victim has no means of documenting lawful presence due to their current situation

The bill amends sections 302.130 and 302.171 of Missouri law, which govern the issuance of instruction permits and driver's licenses

This exception overrides existing requirements that applicants prove lawful presence in the United States before receiving driving credentials
