Uh oh! Having an expired license is never a good thing, but it’s good you realized it before it expired. There are two ways to renew your Iowa
driver’s license: online or in person. To renew your license online:
Head to the Iowa DMV website to see if you’re eligible to renew online
If eligible, collect the required documents: your current driver’s license and a credit/debit card
Follow the online license renewal instructions
Pay the fee (driver’s license renewal fee + $1.50 online processing fee)
To renew in person, follow these steps:
Schedule an appointment online or contact your local county treasurer
Driver’s licenses are valid for eight years, but Iowa has a 60-day grace period for expired licenses. After 60 days, you may be ticketed for driving with an expired license.
