If you have become a naturalized citizen and were issued an Iowa driver’s license or nonoperator ID prior to your naturalization ceremony, you need to update your citizenship status with the DOT in order to utilize this online voter registration portal. Please make an appointment with the DOT as soon as possible. You are encouraged to utilize the paper registration form until your citizenship status with the DOT has been updated.
DO YOU HAVE YOUR GOLD STAR?
As of May 7, 2025, you will need a REAL ID gold star on your driver's license/ID or another TSA-approved identity document like a passport to fly within the U.S. or access certain federal facilities.
- To get your REAL ID gold star, you will need to visit us in person and bring additional documents with you.
- If you choose not to get a REAL ID, you will receive a driver's license or identification card that reads, "NOT FOR REAL ID ACT PURPOSES".
