What documents do I need

Final step - Get your documents and go!

The following list contains the documents you need to bring with you to the DL issuance location.

Your identity document

Your Social Security document

Make sure it includes your name and your full Social Security number.

Your residency documents

The address must be a physical address where you currently reside and not a post office box. Make sure it includes your current name.

Documents must be originals or certified copies and unexpired, unless otherwise noted. Staff will verify all documents presented. The checklist provides guidelines that may not cover every individual situation. The Iowa DOT reserves the right to reject unverifiable documents and request additional documents or investigate documents presented.
