What Is the State of Missouri Form 1879?

The State of Missouri Form 1879 is designed for businesses interested in the salvage industry within the state. This official document is issued by the Missouri Department of Revenue and serves as an application for a Missouri Salvage Business License. Through this permit, salvage businesses can operate legally within Missouri, dismantling or recycling motor vehicles for spare parts, scrap metal, or other materials.
