Ames, Iowa – Jan. 6, 2025 – All Iowa Department of Transportation locations will be closed on Monday, Jan. 20, 2025, for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.
Many people, including commercial driver’s license holders, may be able to complete driver’s license business online.
If you need to come see us at one of our driver’s license service centers, the best way to get in and out quickly is to schedule an appointment online. Walk-in customers will be served as time allows, but there may be a considerable wait time.
Special note to motor carriers
The Office of Motor Carrier Services typically experiences a heavy workload and increased call volumes on the days leading up to and following the holiday. Customers are urged to submit applications for oversize permits, especially those weighing more than 156,000 pounds, several days before the permit is needed.
For questions, please go to the Iowa DOT’s contact page.
