Missouri Form 4444 is the name the Missouri Safety Center’s DIP process sheet gives the completion form, and Missouri law has the court send a record of your completion to the DOR within 15 days after you finish. The DOR’s own FAQ gives no form number, but it says “you or the program may mail the completion form” to the DOR in Jefferson City. Ask the court who will send it, keep a copy and check with the DOR that it arrived.
Key Facts
- The court’s duty: forward a record of completion to the DOR within 15 days after you finish. See the court’s 15-day duty.
- The form’s name: “MO Form 4444” appears on the Missouri Safety Center sheet, not on the DOR forms site. See what Form 4444 is.
- The address: the DOR FAQ lists one mailing address in Jefferson City. See the mailing address.
- Your deadline: finish the program within 60 days of your conviction date. See two clocks.
- Checking receipt: call 573-526-2407 or email [email protected]. See confirming receipt.
What Missouri Form 4444 Is
The number 4444 comes from one official-linked source. The Missouri Safety Center DIP process sheet says: “Once course is complete: the MO Form 4444 must get to Department of Revenue (DOR) within 15 days.”
The Safety Center runs the Driver Improvement Program (DIP) list that the Missouri Department of Revenue (DOR) links to. Its DIP materials say a MoDOT Highway Safety and Traffic Division grant funds them.
Two other official sources describe the same step without a number:
- The statute calls it “a record of the completion.”
- The DOR FAQ calls it “the completion form.”
Neither source says who fills in which part of the form. If you have questions about the paperwork itself, ask the court that ordered your DIP or your program.
Three Sources, Three Descriptions
Each source names the paperwork and the sender in its own way. This table shows the wording side by side.
| Source | Name it uses | Who sends it | Time limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| RSMo 302.302.5 | “a record of the completion” | The court | Within 15 days after completion |
| DOR Tickets and Points FAQ | “the completion form” | “you or the program may mail” it | None stated |
| Safety Center process sheet | “MO Form 4444” | Not stated in that sentence | “within 15 days” |
Where the sources differ, the statute controls. The statute puts the duty on the court.
Before Any Paperwork: The Court Order
A completion record only matters if a court ordered the DIP. The Safety Center DIP page says “this decision is made by the court on a case by case basis.”
Paying a ticket is also a step with legal weight. Supreme Court Rule 38.10(d) says full payment before the court date “constitutes a guilty plea.” Under RSMo 476.385, paying through a centralized bureau also counts as consent to any DIP the court orders.
The DOR FAQ still says “the court or the Fine Collections Center may authorize” the DIP. The Missouri courts say the Fine Collection Center stopped accepting new citations on May 1, 2019. Each county now has a circuit violations bureau, so contact the court named on your ticket.
The Court’s 15-Day Duty
RSMo 302.302, subsection 5, sets the rule. Every court with jurisdiction “shall, within fifteen days after completion of the driver-improvement program,” “forward a record of the completion to the director.”
The “director” is the Director of Revenue, who runs the DOR. The same subsection says the DIP counts “when so ordered and verified by any court having jurisdiction.” So the court orders the DIP, checks it and reports it.
A court that uses a centralized violation bureau may have the bureau order and verify the DIP. Our guide to court-ordered driver improvement explains the order itself.
The DOR Mailing Address
The DOR Tickets and Points FAQ says: “After completing the DIP course, you or the program may mail the completion form to the following address.”
The address it lists is:
- Missouri Department of Revenue
- 301 West High Street – Room 470
- PO Box 200
- Jefferson City, MO 65105-0200
The DOR FAQ address has no bureau or division name. Copy it exactly as the DOR lists it.
Our certificate and completion form guide covers the proof you get when you finish.
Choosing a Program That Fits the Rules
The completion record has to come from a program that meets Missouri’s rules. The DOR FAQ sends readers to the Missouri Safety Center website for acceptable DIP providers.
Under 7 CSR 60-3.010, a designee chosen by MoDOT’s Highway Safety and Traffic Division approves providers. A provider certificate lasts one calendar year. The DOR does not approve or list providers itself.
The statute adds two more rules:
- Format: you may take the DIP online or in person.
- Standard: the program must “meet or exceed” the National Safety Council’s eight-hour standards.
Two Clocks, Not One
Two time limits apply, and they measure different things:
- 60 days to finish. RSMo 302.302.5 says the program “shall be completed within sixty days of the date of conviction.”
- 15 days to report. The court forwards the record within 15 days after you complete the program.
The first clock starts at your conviction date. The second clock starts when you finish.
The Safety Center sheet adds a point about the start. It says “You must have a conviction date before you can enroll and take an approved D.I.P. class.”
If you do not finish within the 60 days, the law does not let the DOR accept the DIP in place of points. See what happens after a missed deadline.
Steps for Getting Completion to the DOR
These steps follow the statute, the DOR FAQ and the Safety Center sheet:
- Confirm the court order. The DIP counts only if the court on your ticket ordered it.
- Wait for a conviction date. Enrollment comes after it.
- Finish the program within 60 days of that date.
- Get your proof of completion from the program.
- Ask the court who will send the record. The statute names the court, and the DOR FAQ says you or the program may mail the form.
- Keep a copy of everything you receive or send.
- Mail to the DOR address above if you are told to mail it yourself.
- Check with the DOR after the court’s 15 days have passed.
Confirming the DOR Got It
The DOR FAQ gives one phone number and one email address for points questions:
- Phone: 573-526-2407
- Email: [email protected]
The DOR FAQ lists the same contacts for checking whether a court order was received. When you call or write, have your name, your ticket details and the date you finished ready.
When the DIP is accepted, the points for that ticket are not assessed. The ticket stays on your record, because the Safety Center sheet says the program “WILL NOT remove the ticket from the drivers record.”
If the DOR has no record, contact the court that ordered the DIP. The court holds the 15-day duty under the statute.
What the DOR Does With the Record
Two reports reach the DOR for a DIP ticket. They come at different times:
- The conviction. Courts must report convictions to the DOR within 7 days under RSMo 302.225.
- The completion. The court forwards the completion record within 15 days after you finish.
When the completion record shows a court-ordered DIP finished in time, the DOR accepts it “in lieu of the assessment of points.” The conviction still goes on the record. It just carries no points for that ticket.
Who Can Use the DIP
Paperwork only matters if the DIP applies to you. The law sets firm limits:
- CDL holders and anyone required to have a CDL cannot use it, in any vehicle.
- Commercial motor vehicle tickets are not covered.
- Motorcycle tickets need an approved motorcycle-rider training course instead.
- One use counts in any 36-month period.
The full rules are in the speeding ticket and DIP guide and the eligibility guide it links to.
What We Found on the Official Pages
On the Missouri DOR and Safety Center pages we checked on October 27, 2026, Form 4444 did not appear on the DOR side.
A search of the DOR forms site for “4444” returned “No results found.” The forms list jumped from 4441 to 4458. The same search for 899 found Form 899, the DOR’s points list, which says nothing about the DIP.
The only official-linked mention of the number was the Safety Center process sheet. Its file name is dated April 20, 2026. The Safety Center DIP page links to that sheet and lists approved programs.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Each item below comes from the statute, the DOR FAQ or the Safety Center sheet:
- Mixing up the two clocks. You finish within 60 days of conviction; the court reports within 15 days after you finish.
- Adding a bureau name to the address. The DOR FAQ address has none.
- Searching the DOR forms site for 4444. The form number is not listed there.
- Enrolling before a conviction date. The Safety Center sheet says you need one first.
- Throwing away your proof. Keep a copy until the DOR confirms it has the record.
- Assuming the ticket goes away. Only the points for that ticket are affected.
How Requirements Can Vary
Missouri’s point values, suspension levels and Driver Improvement Program rules come from Missouri law (RSMo 302.302 and 302.304) and apply statewide. Whether a court orders the DIP for your ticket, and how your case is handled, is up to the court on your ticket. Fines and court costs depend on the court and the charge.
Laws, forms and court practice can change. Check your ticket, any court order, the Missouri DOR website and the Missouri Revised Statutes before you enroll or pay.
