Iowa Vehicle Registration

In Iowa, a vehicle must be registered no later than 30 days after purchase. If a vehicle owner establishes new residency in Iowa, they must register their vehicle within the first 30 days. Vehicle registrations are renewed annually. The County Treasurer mails renewal notices one month prior.

Where to Register Your Vehicle

You must register your vehicle in person at your local County Treasurer’s office. If you are renewing a registration, you can do so online.

Documents Required by the DMV Office

The following documents are required to register your vehicle in the state of Iowa:

  • Application for Certificate of Title and/or Registration (Form 411007)
  • Bill of sale
  • Certificate of title
  • Motor Vehicle Damage Disclosure Statement (Form 411108) — This is only required for vehicles seven model years old or newer.
  • Iowa driver’s license
  • Odometer disclosure statement
  • Proof of insurance
  • Registration fees

If someone else will represent you when registering your vehicle, you will also need a power of attorney form.
