To purchase your new plates by mail, follow these steps:

 

• Print the Emblem Use Authorization Statement (EUAS) and complete the Applicant Information section only. (Click here for form.) Do not sign or date the form as we will complete that section for you.

• Mail the EUAS with your check for $25 (one year plate) or $50 (two-year plates) to MoSHA, PO Box 21626, St Louis, MO 63109-0626.  (An additional donation amount may also be included in your check.) 

• MoSHA will sign and authorize the EUAS and return it to you by mail.  Allow sufficient time for mail and return mail; we suggest at least ten business days.

• Pet Friendly plates must be personalized. Our plates cannot be reserved on-line, but you can check availability by clicking this link. (Pet Friendly plates are not an option in the drop-down; choose any type of plate to verify availability before mailing in form 1716.)

• When you receive the EUAS from MoSHA, print Department of Revenue Form 1716 (Click here for form), Fill out the form. IMPORTANT: Check the box for "I'm Pet Friendly" strongly, and either highlight or circle that line to ensure you get the correct plates.

• Submit Form 1716 to Jefferson City with a copy of your paid EUAS and the DOR’s $15 fee. (Note: Form 1716 and the associated fee are only required when you first request the plates.)

• The DOR will notify you when your plates are ready. (This usually takes at least four weeks after receipt by the DOR. You do not have to wait until your plates are expiring to order the "I'm Pet Friendly plates.)

• Take the EUAS, the letter from the DOR, and other vehicle registration paperwork to your license office to pick up your plates.
