Proof of Financial Responsibility for Reinstatement of Failure to Show Proof of Financial Responsibility Suspensions

PURPOSE: This rule establishes the types of proof of financial responsibility that will be accepted for reinstatement of a suspension for failure to show proof of financial responsibility pursuant to Chapter 303, RSMo.

The director of revenue may as he/she deems necessary require additional documentation in order to determine the authenticity of any document submitted as proof of financial responsibility. (2) If the driver’s address and driver license number are not contained on the proof of insurance document, a document containing such information must accompany the proof of insurance forwarded to the Drivers License Bureau.

(3) If the driver’s name is not indicated on the proof of insurance document, the insured driver must submit a copy of his or her insurance policy so the director can verify the driver has the necessary insurance. (4) The proof of insurance document must contain the most current effective date of the policy.
