The Iowa Department of Transportation regulates driver license and ID cards under 761 IA Adc chs. 600-699. Upon receiving a new DL or ID, persons are required to surrender their current DL or ID, whether issued by Iowa or another state. An Iowa DL expires on the expiration date printed on the DL. It is valid for driving for an additional 60 days after the expiration date. After 60 days, persons may be ticketed for driving with an expired DL, except for temporary foreign nationals. After one year following expiration, persons are required to take the knowledge test and drive test. Persons may renew their DL 30 days before its expiration date. The following is a summary of Iowa driver license and ID application requirements and eligibility criteria prepared by the Iowa Department of Transportation: Date of birth, identity, and lawful status or presence. Iowa DOT will not issue a driver license or ID if a person’s immigration documents show their remaining status time is less than 30 days. Applicants must present one of the below documents to establish these requirements:
