Who must register
Missouri generally requires charitable organizations to register with the Missouri Attorney General before soliciting contributions there, unless an exemption applies. Requirements attach to out-of-state charities soliciting Missouri residents as well as local ones.

Exemptions we check for
Likely exempt if it holds a federal tax exemption under section 501(c)(3), 501(c)(7), or 501(c)(8) — Missouri exempts such organizations from charitable registration (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.456.2(6)).
Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.456.2(6), verbatim in docs/registry-sources/mo-la-primary-sources.md; AG FAQ concurs. Self-executing — no claim filing exists.
The state, not Steadworthy, decides whether an exemption applies.
