A bill for an act relating to information required for nonresidents who apply for vehicle registration and issuance of a certificate of title.
This bill changes Iowa's vehicle registration rules for nonresidents who own property in the state. It allows nonresident property owners to use an out-of-state driver's license number instead of providing the primary user's full details (like name, address, and Iowa ID) when registering a vehicle primarily used at their Iowa property. To qualify, applicants must submit reasonable proof of property ownership, and the state transportation department will establish rules for acceptable proof. The change applies only to vehicles registered under this exception, not general registration requirements.
