Missouri Residency Requirements

To qualify for in-state fees, you must meet the official residency requirements established by the State of Missouri. The conditions that determine residency are very specific and in all cases require that you have lived in Missouri at least 12 months and intend to reside here permanently.

To apply for in-state status, complete a Petition for Residency Status (available from Mizzou’s Residency Office) and submit it with photocopies of all required documentation.

You may contact the residency office at:
