Failure to appear

Failure to either pre-pay or appear on an assigned court date to dispose of an offense could result in a warrant being issued for your arrest and you may be required to post bond. Failure to appear or pay for your offense may be reported to your state licensing authority and your driving privilege could be suspended.

To get a license back after a failure to appear in court for traffic violation (FACT) suspension, you will be required to show proof of compliance and pay a $20 reinstatement fee, per offense, to the Missouri Department of Revenue, Driver’s License Bureau. 

The court may place a hold on your driver’s license so that you cannot apply for a new or duplicate drivers license. In order for the hold to be removed, you must dispose of your citation by paying the fines and court costs due, or by complying with conditions of your probation. The court will send a notification to the Missouri Department of Revenue, Driver’s License Bureau once all requirements have been met. A $20 reinstatement fee is not required.

If you receive a ticket while traveling out of state, the Missouri Department of Revenue can suspend your license for failure to pay tickets issued anywhere in the United States.

If you have failed to pay your ticket or appear in court, please contact the court office at (816) 380-8903.
