Real ID Enforcement Date Extended to May 7, 2025:
| U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Office of Public Affairs |
| Acting Secretary Chad Wolf Statement on the REAL ID Enforcement Deadline |
| Due to COVID-19, the deadline to get your REAL ID (gold star) has been extended to May 3, 2023. If you fly commercially you'll either need a REAL ID license or ID or another acceptable identity document, or you're going to be subject to additional screening and potential delay. “The federal, state and local response to the spread of the Coronavirus here in the United States necessitates a delay in this deadline. Our state and local partners are working tirelessly with the Administration to flatten the curve and, therefore, we want to remove any impediments to response and recovery efforts. States across the country are temporarily closing or restricting access to DMVs. This action will preclude millions of people from applying for and receiving their REAL ID. Extending the deadline will also allow the Department to work with Congress to implement needed changes to expedite the issuance of REAL IDs once the current health crisis concludes. “Protecting both the health and national security of the American people continues to be the top priority for the President of the United States and the Department of Homeland Security.” |

Bill of Sale Required for Transferring Vehicle Titles Beginning January 1, 2020
Effective January 1, 2020, the Carroll County Treasurer’s Office will require customers to provide a bill of sale when transferring all motor vehicle titles between private parties. A bill of sale or purchase agreement is already required for vehicles purchased from a dealership.
The Iowa State County Treasurer’s Association (ISCTA), in partnership with the Iowa Department of Revenue (IDOR), aims to substantiate the purchase price of every vehicle transferred in Iowa. This has a direct impact on the fees that are remitted to the State’s Road Use Tax fund.
The ISCTA Executive Board has encouraged all 99 counties to proactively require a bill of sale to be completed by both the seller and the buyer in advance of any administrative mandate.
Many counties already require a bill of sale between private parties and are allowed to do so pursuant to section 321.13 of the Iowa Code. Carroll County will join other counties and require a bill of sale for every vehicle transfer effective January 1, 2020. The bill of sale should include the seller’s name, make of the vehicle, year of the vehicle, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), buyer’s name, date of sale, purchase price, and signature of seller.
A bill of sale form is available in the Carroll County Treasurer’s Office or at Bill of Sale Form
