What is 430?
Form 430, Document Verification, is a Missouri Department of Revenue form that certifies a document is complete after a thorough record search, and that also records the destruction of rejected paperwork through its Destruction Certification section.
At the top, you mark which purpose applies: Refilm, Document Verification or Destruction Certification. You then enter the vehicle's Year, Make and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The printed certification reads that the document is certified to be complete, that a thorough record search has been made, and that all required documentation, or valid proof the documentation was submitted, has been obtained. An Explanation area and eight lines for Vehicle Information follow, then signature lines for the employee and the immediate supervisor with a date in MM/DD/YYYY format.
The lower part of the form handles rejects. You mark Code 7, Code 8, Code 1 or Reject, and a statement says that original documents for a Control Number or Title Number have been destroyed by the Motor Vehicle Bureau, with a Reject Destroyed Reference Number. The Destruction Certification block states that the customer or lienholder has complied with the reject and that all reject paperwork has been filmed and destroyed, followed by its own signature and date.
The Department of Revenue lists Form 430 among its Motor Vehicle Forms on its Forms and Manuals page.
Who needs to file 430?
The Department of Revenue lists Form 430 under Motor Vehicle Forms, and the form's wording points to the people who handle vehicle records. It has signature lines for an employee and an immediate supervisor. It refers to the Motor Vehicle Bureau, to Control Numbers and Title Numbers, and to a customer or lienholder who has complied with a reject.
- Use the Document Verification option when a document must be certified as complete after a record search.
- Use the Refilm option when the form is being completed for refilming.
- Use the Destruction Certification option and its lower section when rejected paperwork has been filmed and destroyed and the customer or lienholder has complied with the reject.
The form does not say who must file it, and it prints no eligibility rule or exclusion. If you are unsure whether Form 430 applies to your situation, ask the Missouri Department of Revenue before completing it. The form names no representative or alternate signer: the printed signature lines are Employee Signature, Immediate Supervisor and, in the Destruction Certification block, a single Signature line.
When to file 430
Form 430 prints no due date. The triggering event is the one named by the option you mark. The Document Verification option applies once a thorough record search has been made and the required documentation, or valid proof it was submitted, has been obtained. The Destruction Certification section applies after the customer or lienholder has complied with a reject and the reject paperwork has been filmed and destroyed. Both signature blocks ask for the date in MM/DD/YYYY format, so enter the date you actually sign.

How to submit 430
Form 430 names no mailing address, portal, fax number or appointment process, so no delivery channel is printed on it. The Missouri Department of Revenue lists the form among its Motor Vehicle Forms at https://dor.mo.gov/forms/, where it explains that some motor vehicle forms are not available electronically.
Because the form is tied to Motor Vehicle Bureau records, ask the Department of Revenue where a completed Form 430 should go and whether anything must accompany it. Sign and date every block that applies before it leaves your hands. FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels the Department of Revenue gives you.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving all three boxes (Refilm, Document Verification, Destruction Certification) unmarked, so the form does not show which purpose it serves.
- Omitting the vehicle's Year, Make or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at the top of the form.
- Signing the certification before a thorough record search has been made and the required documentation, or valid proof it was submitted, has been obtained.
- Leaving off the employee signature or the immediate supervisor line.
- Writing a date in a format other than MM/DD/YYYY.
- Marking the Reject Destroyed box without the Reference Number, or leaving the Control Number or Title Number blank in the destroyed-documents statement.
- Skipping the signature and date in the Destruction Certification block when that section applies.
