The newer style MO drivers licenses have a field called ISS for the issue date. The old style MO drivers license has a string of numbers vertically along the photo that are encoded with the issue date. From top to bottom, the first two digits are the year and the 6,7,and 8th digests are the day of the year (Julian date). Example: 124732770053. The year is 2012 and the 277th day of that year is October 3. So that's 10/3/2012. Just Google for "Julian date" to translate the Julian date. Please note that there is a separate chart for Leap years.
