Motor Vehicle Records
Motor Vehicle/Dealer Records
Motor vehicle records that contain personal information are closed records and may not be obtained through a Sunshine Law request. §§ 610.021(14), 32.090.3, and 32.091.1(3), RSMo. Motor Vehicle records containing personal information are protected by the Drivers Privacy Protection Act , a federal law that prevents the Department from disclosing such information without authorization and are therefore not open under Missouri’s Sunshine Law. 32.091 RSMo, 610.021(14 ), RSMo. However, the Department has created forms which can be utilized to receive closed records if the requester meets exceptions which authorize access to the records.
