Iowa law mandates that anyone in the state who has been convicted of an OWI install an Ignition Interlock Device on every vehicle driven by them to qualify for a temporary restricted license. This includes those charged with an OWI for the first time. If it is a second or subsequent OWI offense, the person must install an Ignition Interlock Device on all vehicles owned or operated.

How do I apply for a Temporary Restricted License (TRL) in Iowa?

According to the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) website, to apply for a temporary restricted license after being charged with an OWI, you will need to complete Form 430400, Request for Temporary Restricted License – OWI Revocation.

If you meet all requirements, the Iowa DOT will send you notice that your application has been approved. You must then take the notice to a DOT driver’s license station where you may be required to:

  • Pass all required examinations (vision, written and/or driving test)
  • Pay any civil penalties
  • File proof of financial responsibility
  • Pay a $20 reinstatement fee and the license fee
  • If your Iowa driving privileges have been revoked for operating while intoxicated (OWI), you will have to complete all requirements of Iowa’s OWI law, including installation of an Ignition Interlock Device.
