Does Missouri require front license plates?

My job just relocated me to Kansas City, and I’m super excited to experience a new city! Being the super planner that I am, I want to make sure everything goes swimmingly, especially with my car. Do I need to get front license plates in Missouri?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Missouri is one of 31 states that requires a front and rear license plate—but don’t stress. It’s not any more expensive to get two plates vs. one. However, Missouri only gives you 30 days to register your car, get a driver’s license, and title your vehicle in the state, so you may need to act quickly.
Fees for everything you need are as follows:
  • A Missouri driver’s license costs $26 for three years or $52 for six years
  • Titling the car has a $14.50 fee
  • Your plates and registration are lumped into a single fee with options to pay $51.25 for a single year of registration or $102.50 for two years
Although a big move is an exciting and overwhelming event swirled into one, take a minute or two out of your schedule to find the best rate for your

My Toyota Camry won’t start, and there’s no click?
My older Toyota Camry isn’t starting, even though it was fine yesterday. I don’t know much about cars outside of how to drive them. I’m going to call my roadside assistance and get a tow to my mechanic, but could you tell me first why my Toyota Camry won’t start? There’s no click happening when I turn the key.
