Department of Revenue News Release

JEFFERSON CITY — Through a competitive bid process, the Missouri Department of Revenue has awarded a new management contract for the License Office in Memphis, Missouri to Taylar Townsend.

License offices are operated by independent contractors but directed by the Missouri Department of Revenue. The Memphis office closed unexpectedly on January 21, due to the previous contractors untimely passing. 

“In these situations, it is the Department of Revenue’s responsibility to get the office back up and running,” said Revenue Director Trish Vincent.  “We want to make sure those Missourians who rely on the Memphis Office for their licensing needs have an open office and we will work as quickly as possible to make that happen.”

The current location (388 S. Clay Street, Suite B, Memphis, Mo., 63555) will reopen on February 20, 2025 with the following hours of operation:

•    Monday through Thursday – 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM
