The following information does not cover situations such as commercial driver license, motorcycle, chauffeur, or restricted licenses.  Please call the treasurer's office if you have questions.

Generally, when a student, under the age of 18, applies for a permit or graduated driver's license, the state requires that the student provide his certified birth certificate, social security card, and a parent/legal guardian affidavit (form 430018; Parent Written Consent to Issue Privilege to Drive or Affidavit to Obtain Duplicate).

Driver's license personnel will make the final decision on what is acceptable proof of identity.  If you have questions concerning this requirement, please contact your local examining personnel for more information.

Generally, when an individual moves into Iowa and applies for an Iowa driver's license, the state requires that the individual provide his out-of-state driver's license, Certified or Original Birth Certificate or a Valid US Passport, Social Security Card, and 2 proofs of residency.  Each Marriage Certificate and/or Certified Divorce Decree may be required.  If applicable, the same documents would be required to obtain a Real ID.

If a person would like the Veterans designation on their driver's license, we would need Form 432035 completed and signed by County Veterans Affairs Office.  Supporting documents that may be used are as follows:  DD214, NGB 22, Retired ID Card, or applicable Department of Defense form.  The Veterans designation can only be added on the license at time of renewal.

Driver's license personnel will make the final decision on what is acceptable proof of identity.  If you have questions concerning this requirement, please contact your local examining personnel for more information

If your address changes, you must report the address change to DOT within 30 days.  Any driver's license station can make an address change on your license for $1.00.  Your license will always show your residence address, but your mailing address will also be requested.
