You will need to take action on your ticket in order for the court to notify the DMV that the hold may be lifted. To plead guilty or no contest, complete the Advisal/Waiver of Constitutional Rights for Plea by Mail, MO-041 form, and return it to the court.
To plead not guilty, complete the Request for Arraignment and Trial on Same Date, MO-012 form, and return it to the court. Bail will not be required at this time. If your case was referred for collection, include a Civil Assessment Good Cause Statement Failure to Appear or Pay, ADM-283 form. Once these forms are received, the court will notify the DMV to lift hold on your license due to the failure to appear. You will be notified by mail of the court's decision or your arraignment and court trial hearing date.
Requests may be mailed via USPS or dropped in the express drop box located outside the court building.
