It is required that you have a valid IA driver's license before you can register your car. Iowa DOT doesn't require it, but you should complete a Bill of Sale with the seller to document the vehicle's transfer of ownership and protect the security interests of everyone involved.

To complete a bill of sale in Iowa, you can either use a template as found online or at your local DOT office, or you may write up your own. Your document should be considered valid as long as all of the information is complete, including the signatures.

Depending on which version of title certificate your county is using, you may use the updated title as the bill of sale under the TRANSFER/SALE DATE section. If the title certificate does not include this section, a bill of sale is still required.

A Bill of Sale (PDF) signed by the seller/transferor is required for all title transfers even if the transfer is a gift. A Buyer/Transferee has 30 days to present the properly assigned title to the County Treasurer so that a title can be issued in the Buyer/Transferee name.
