HB 861 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies Missouri driver's licenses and nondriver's licenses to include a symbol that indicates that the holder of the license is a United States citizen

HB 861 requires Missouri driver's licenses and nondriver's licenses for U.S. citizens (including naturalized citizens) to display a distinguishing symbol on the front starting July 1, 2026, to indicate citizenship. This symbol must appear on all licenses issued to U.S. citizens, but non-citizens would not have this marking. The bill does not alter the process for obtaining licenses for non-citizens or change existing requirements for license issuance. The Department of Revenue will implement this by adding the symbol to license designs, with no additional fees or documentation required for citizens.
