DMV Office has moved to 2901 N. Kingshighway

Now, with the arrival of another great addition to the neighborhood, renewing your driver's license or license plates will require only a short walk to the new NorthSide License Office located at 625 N. Euclid (at Delmar) Northside has moved to 2901 N. Kingshighway. The only service that will not be offered at the new office is the driver's license test, which is administered by the Missouri Highway Patrol.
Missouri Department of Motor Vehicle locations are not run by the State but are contracted out. The new operation in the CWE is contracted to Mid-America Transplant Services which has another location in Maplewood. Molly Maher, above, Director of Finance, explained that the license renewal process is an efficient way to sign patrons up to be on the transplant donor registry, which is why Transplant Services has undertaken the operation of the license offices. Molly said DMV offices don't produce much profit, but said any surplus will go to providing services for donor families through their Center for Life.  The services vary from support groups and bereavement counseling to candlelight memorial services.

This new DMV office is geared to providing the best service in the most convenient, up-do-date way. It's no longer necessary to bring a book or pack a lunch to occupy the wait time–as is the case elsewhere–when you stop in. You can even get in line before you leave home by using the "QLess" system (www.mtsdmv.com). Or stop in and use the QLess screen at the entry to check-in and choose the service you need.  If you then decide to run an errand (there is a post office in the building), you'll be notified by text message that your appointment is coming up. If you haven't quite finished your Chapulines (sauteed grasshopper) tacos at Gringo, or trying on skinny jeans at Libby's, you can delay the appointment by text message until you are ready to return.

NorthSide License Office, (note new address) 2901 N. Kingshighway, Open Mon. to Fri. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., 1st and last Sat. 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., (314) 454-1071.
