SB 645 Missouri Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to motor vehicle inspections

SB 645 modifies Missouri's vehicle registration process by updating requirements for certificate of ownership applications. It mandates that owners apply for a certificate within 30 days of acquiring a vehicle (or 30 days after receiving dealer title), providing details like VIN, odometer reading, and lien information. The bill adds a $8.50 fee for new certificates, imposes a $25 delinquency penalty for late applications (capped at $200), and requires certificates to include anti-forgery features and odometer history. It directly affects all Missouri vehicle owners registering new or transferred vehicles, with penalties for noncompliance including registration cancellation. (Note: The bill's title references "motor vehicle inspections," but the actual provisions focus on ownership certificates, not inspections.)
