Forms

Like many government agencies, the Iowa Department of Transportation's Motor Vehicle Division requires forms for most of its services. For example:

• Driver-related forms:

• If you would like to apply for a special parking permit for drivers with disabilities, you must complete an Application for Persons with Disabilities Parking Permit form.

• If you are involved in a serious auto accident, you may be required to fill out an Iowa Accident Report Form.

• If you are a minor who wishes to obtain a school license, you must complete an Affidavit for School License Form.

• Unfortunately, driver's license applications are not available online. However, you may find other forms related to driver services in the Iowa DOT's Driver Services forms directory.

• Vehicle-related forms:

• Application for Certificate of Title and/or Registration

• Application for Replacement Iowa Certificate of Title

• Application for Certificate of Title/Registration for a Leased Vehicle

• Odometer Disclosure Statement

• Damage Disclosure Statement

• The Iowa DOT makes available additional forms relating to vehicles, registration, and license plates in the Vehicle Services forms directory.

Downloading Forms

Tips for Completing Iowa DMV Forms

• To prevent mistakes, read through the entire form before you begin filling it out.

• Be thorough. Leaving blank spaces or providing incomplete information could delay the processing of your form.

• If you're handwriting your form, be as neat as possible. You may even want to consider using a black or blue erasable ballpoint pen.

• If you don't understand the form, ask for help. Generally, your nearest driver's license station will be able to assist you.
