What is the minimum age to obtain a full class F driver's license in Missouri?

In Missouri, the minimum age to obtain a full Class F driver’s license is 18. At this age, individuals are considered adults and can fully take on the responsibilities associated with driving without restrictions that apply to younger drivers. Before reaching this age, younger drivers can hold a learner’s permit and may progress to an intermediate license after meeting specific requirements. These restrictions are designed to ensure that younger drivers gain enough experience under less risky conditions before obtaining full driving privileges. This approach helps to promote safer driving practices among new drivers, particularly those who are still learning the intricacies of operating a vehicle.
