License fees to go up in Missouri

It's about to cost more for Missouri motorists to
renew their driver's licenses and license plates.

The cost for processing a three-year
driver's license will rise next month from $2.50 to $6. For a driver's license
longer than three years, the fee climbs from $5 to $12. Meanwhile, an annual
registration will increase from $3.50 to $6, while the fee for a biennial
registration will go from $7 to $12.

The increases are the first in 20 years. They were designed to help privately
operated license offices stay afloat in rural areas. Unlike other states where a
government agency operates all license offices, Missouri allows companies,
individuals and not-for-profits to bid to operate the facilities in exchange for
a portion of the fees collected.
