Missouri requires that all people born after January 1st, 1984, must possess a boating safety certification approved by the Missouri State Highway Patrol in order to operate a boat. If you are not from Missouri, your state may offer a different certification, which is also acceptable. Visit https://www.boat-ed.com/ to take the test for Missouri. This will take time; therefore, please plan ahead to obtain certificate.
