How do you get a hardship license in Missouri?

Does Missouri give out hardship licenses for underage drivers who have a sick family member? I need to be able to go to the grocery store so I can take care of my dad but I’m not old enough to get a license yet.

Missouri
only gives out hardship licenses to those whose
driver's license
has been
suspended, revoked, or denied
. In order to get a hardship license, these individuals can submit an application to the Department of Revenue, or petition the circuit court in the county where they live or work.
While you can’t get a driving license, however, there are other options available to you:
  • Use rideshare services
  • Take public transport
  • Have your groceries delivered
  • Talk to local charities about getting food delivered to your home
To cut costs in other areas in the meantime, have a friend or family member help you use the
Jerr​​y
app to find a lower
car insurance
rate for your family. You can likely drop certain coverages if your mom isn’t driving right now, which could save you close to $900 per year.
