How do you change the DOB on your driving license online?

I just moved to Iowa and when I got my new license in the mail, the birthday was wrong. How do you change the DOB on your driving license online, or do I have to go to the office in person?

A new city, that must be exciting! While you can change your name or address on your
driving license
online in Iowa, you’ll have to visit a department of transportation location in order to get your birthdate changed on your license.
When you visit the DOT, be sure to bring your identifying documents with you—your Social Security card, your birth certificate, your passport, and any old licenses that have the correct birthday on them. You’ll also need the incorrect license. When you arrive, an agent should be able to help you get your date of birth corrected.
Moving to a new state also means you need new insurance. The

app makes it quick and easy to find the best rates available in your new state—no DOT visits necessary. Just download the app and answer some quick questions to see quotes from over 50 top insurance companies.
All the best with settling into your new place!
