HF 2115 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the issuance and display of one registration plate on motor vehicles.

This bill changes Iowa's vehicle registration plate requirements. It allows most vehicle owners to display just one plate (instead of two) on the rear of their vehicle, with annual registration renewed using a validation sticker instead of replacing the physical plate each year. Older vehicles (1948 or earlier) may also display a single plate if the second plate is kept in the vehicle. The changes apply to all registered motor vehicles in Iowa, simplifying renewal processes and reducing the need for physical plate replacements.
