AMES, Iowa – Oct. 31, 2025 – In honor of Veterans Day on Tuesday, Nov. 11, all Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) business locations will be closed.
Many people, including commercial driver’s license holders, may be able to complete driver’s license business online at www.iowadot.gov.
If you need to come to see us, the quickest way to get your driver’s license business done is to schedule an appointment at https://iowadot.gov/mvd/other-appointments. Walk-in customers will be served as time allows.
Special note to motor carriers
The Office of Motor Carrier Services typically experiences a heavy workload 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.
