Your DL follows your primary state of residence. If you bring a car into Florida you have to pay an “impact fee”, and that is not cheap, several hundred dollars. Keep the documents in Missouri, but list the “Principal place of Garage” with the insurance where you keep the car, the way a college student does. If you are not employed, Florida does not care where you are licensed. Just don’t try to vote or claim a homestead property tax exemption in Florida with your Missouri drivers license.
