Does Missouri law require an Alcohol Server License?

Alcohol seller-server training is recommended in Missouri to familiarize you with liquor laws and best practices for serving alcohol safely and legally.  Training usually includes:

  • How to check ID to recognize minors
  • Recognizing and preventing second-party sales
  • How to prevent customers from becoming inebriated
  • Recognizing the effects of alcohol on customers
  • How to safely refuse a sale to intoxicated persons and minors

Some cities or counties may have stricter alcohol server training requirements.  Double check with your city, county, or employer to make sure you get the necessary training.

Please note, Missouri does not provide a list of approved training providers. The state does recommend its SMART training, which is offered through the state.

How long does a Bartender License last?

Missouri alcohol seller-server licenses generally need to be refreshed every 2-3 years.  Ask your employer or local liquor authority about their specific standards.

Why should I take Missouri alcohol server training?

Many employers require or prefer job candidates who have a training certificate because they want to make sure their employees understand how to obey the law.

The Missouri Alcohol and Tobacco Control (ATC) enforces stiff penalties for underage drinking. Selling alcohol to a minor is a misdemeanor. You could face up to a $1,000 fine, up to one year in jail, or both.

Drinking establishments can also be held liable if you sell alcohol to a minor or visibly intoxicated person who then causes injury to someone else.

Alcohol server training also arms you with the knowledge to help prevent drunk driving. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were a total of 3,314 people killed in crashes involving a drunk driver in Missouri from 2003 to 2012—which is higher than the national average.
