This bill amends the requirements for nonresidents applying for vehicle registration and issuance of a certificate of title in Iowa. It specifies that if a nonresident owns a vehicle that requires registration in Iowa, the application must include the full legal name, Iowa driver's license number or Iowa nonoperators identification card number, date of birth, bona fide residence, and mailing address of the primary user of the vehicle. However, if the nonresident owns real property in Iowa and the vehicle is primarily used at that property, the application may instead include the owner's driver's license number or nonoperators identification card number from another state, along with reasonable proof of property ownership.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the primary user's information is not required to be printed on the registration receipt or certificate of title. The Department of Transportation (DOT) is tasked with adopting rules regarding acceptable proof of property ownership for nonresidents applying under these new provisions. Overall, the bill aims to streamline the application process for nonresidents who have a legitimate connection to Iowa through property ownership.
