How to Register a Vehicle

To register the vehicle you recently purchased from a private party, visit a County Treasurers Office in your vicinity. Bring the requested items below:

  • A bill of sale (although not legally necessary, it can add additional proof confirming the transfer of ownership).
  • The vehicle title is signed by both the buyer and seller, producing a legitimate transfer of possession.
  • A state of Iowa driver’s license.
  • Individuals registering must submit an Application for Certificate of Title and/or Registration for a Vehicle (Form 411007).
  • If the seller of the vehicle had no room to record an odometer reading on the title, they must supply the buyer with an Odometer Disclosure Statement, which shall then be presented to an agent upon titling/registration – in accordance with statute 761—400.52(321)
  • If the vehicle has an active loan, the lender must be contacted to sign off and provide any necessary paperwork for the registration process.
  • A Damage Disclosure Statement (only applicable if the damage exceeds 50% of the fair market value of the motor vehicle before it became damaged).
  • Sufficient funds to satisfy any registration processing fees.
