If for some reason you are leaving Missouri for a little while—wait, what? Why are you leaving? Where are you going? We were just starting to get along, and pay taxes together!

But supposing you have a good reason, can you request a free extension before your license expires? Well, maybe, under certain circumstances. For this type of thing you’re better off going right to the DOR and asking them, though.

But seriously, we think you should stay put. Don’t be like those losers who left to follow the Oregon Trail—most of them died of dysentery.
