     • Date of lawful status
     • Proof of Social Security number (If a Social Security number is already on file you may be able to give it verbally for an electronic check; if that fails you need a document.)
     • Proof of Missouri residential address (You may be able to self-certify that your address is unchanged. A REAL ID, CDL or CLP renewal needs two acceptable documents of Missouri residency and state of domicile.)
   • If your name has changed
     Additional documents are required to verify an alternate mailing address, or a name change if your name differs from your identity or lawful status document. Accepted proof of a name change includes one of these.
