A 3-minute lesson from the Missouri course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
A license can be suspended, revoked or denied for many reasons, not just bad driving. Some involve paperwork like insurance or court fines; others involve alcohol, fraud or crashes.
Know the rule
If you're under 18, your parent or guardian may ask the Director of Revenue to deny you a license (Form 4811). If you already have one, the request cancels it.
You're 17 and your parent files Form 4811 with the Director of Revenue. Your license is canceled and a denial is placed on your record. It lasts until you turn 18 or your parent asks for your status to be cleared.
Check your understanding
