PURPOSE: This amendment expands the Social Security
document requirements to permit verbal presentation of Social Security Number,
allows for a previously issued driver license to be used as proof of residency
for a REAL ID, and authorizes an opt-in process for longer retention of REAL ID
source documents.
(1) All
applicants for a driver license, nondriver license, or instruction permit must
provide one (1) or more documents, in English, that comply with each subsection
below.
(A) Proof of Lawful Presence-proof of
lawful presence must be shown for any new or renewal driver or nondriver
license or instruction permit application. U.S. citizens who have previously
verified lawful presence and the license record indicates such verification may
not be required to show proof upon subsequent applications.
(B) Proof of Identity: Documents used for
purposes of proving identity must contain the applicant's full legal name, date
of birth, and match the person's current name unless a change of name is
established by a marriage certificate, marriage license, amended birth
certificate, divorce decree, or other court order. Only original documents or a
photocopy, bearing an original certification by the issuing authority is
acceptable.
1. In addition to the documents
referenced in (1)(A)1.A.-F. above, the following documents may be used to
establish proof of identity:
A. Permanent
Resident Card: a valid, unexpired Permanent Resident Card;
B. Valid Foreign Passport stamped approved or
processed for an I-551;

Unexpired I-94 stamped "Processed for I-551";

document, in addition to the documents referenced in paragraph (1)(B)1., the
following documents may be used to establish proof of identity:

B. U.S. Military Identification
card;

license, nondriver license, or instruction permit.
(C) Proof of Social Security
Number: Applicants who have record of a previously verified Social Security
number on file with the department may provide the Social Security number
verbally at the time of application. However, the department may still require
the applicant to provide a physical document to verify the Social Security
number upon request. The following documents may be used to establish proof of
Social Security number:
1. Social Security
card;
2. W-2 Form;

number will not be issued to them.
(D) Proof of Missouri Residency: "Residence
address," "residence," or "resident address" is defined as the location at
which a person has been physically present, and that the person regards as
