A person who lives outside Missouri and owns a car registered in another state can show Missouri that they have insurance by sending in a certificate from their insurance company. That insurance company must agree to follow Missouri's rules and must allow Missouri to contact them if there is a lawsuit from a car accident in Missouri. If the insurance company breaks its agreements, Missouri will stop accepting certificates from that company until the problem is fixed.
