Thanks for your question! According to Missouri state law—specifically Section 311.060 — liquor license applicants must meet several eligibility requirements, including being:
– Of good moral character
– Qualified legal voters
– Taxpaying citizens
If the sole owner, a business partner, or the managing officer of a company was born outside the United States, they must provide a copy of their naturalization certificate or a valid U.S. passport as part of the application process.
Additionally, keep in mind that some local municipalities may have their own licensing requirements on top of state rules.
Because of these legal stipulations, it appears that U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a liquor license in Missouri. If you are a lawful permanent resident or work-authorized individual, it’s highly recommended to reach out directly to the Missouri Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control to clarify your specific situation and explore any possible options. You can find more information and contact details here.
Also, one more important note: if you’re not a U.S. citizen, obtaining the required liquor license bond may be more difficult, or it may come at a significantly higher cost.
Hope this helps! Let us know if you need more guidance.
