What Kennett License Office handles

Kennett License Office is a license office, a counter run by a contractor under a Department of Revenue contract, which the DOR's contractor announcements describe as awarded through a competitive bid. A license office like Kennett License Office issues the driver license, permit or nondriver ID once the applicant has the Highway Patrol's test results, and does the vehicle work: titles, registration, plates and renewals. The license office and exam station guide says which errand goes to Kennett License Office and which to a Patrol station.
No driving test is given at Kennett License Office: the knowledge and skills tests are the Missouri State Highway Patrol's, at the examination stations on its station map, and the Patrol's results are taken to a license office for issuance.
