If ownership of the motor vehicle was transferred to you on a title issued by another state or country. This inspection can be completed by a Missouri authorized inspection station. A safety inspection, not more than 60 days old, will satisfy this requirement;
If there is a lien on the vehicle, and your lienholder is in possession of your title, you will need to obtain the title from the lienholder to submit with your application. The lien will remain in force, and when the Missouri title is issued, the lien will appear on the face of the title. Missouri titles are mailed to the vehicle owner unless a request is made to have the title mailed to the lienholder.
Even model year vehicles must be safety and emissions inspected (unless exempt) in even calendar years, and odd model year vehicles must be inspected (unless exempt) in odd calendar years.
NOTE: Effective August 28, 2019, motor vehicles for the first ten years following the model year of manufacture, and having less than 150,000 miles on the odometer are exempt from the safety inspection requirement. Example: For a 2015 vehicle where the mileage continues to be less than 150,000 miles at the time of registration or registration renewal, the vehicle would be exempt from the safety inspection through 2025.
