When you arrive for your appointment, please be aware of the following:

  • You will be asked a series of questions to evaluate your risk of exposure to COVID-19 and exposure to others being served. If it is determined that there may be a heightened risk for you to be served, you will be asked to delay services to a later date.  
  • Staff will be monitoring the number of customers waiting for services inside the facility to encourage social distancing guidance provided by the CDC. Customers may be asked to wait in their vehicles or come back at another time if service areas become crowded. 
  • For your health and safety, high-touch areas are being regularly cleaned with disinfectants to reduce the chance of contamination.   

The Iowa DOT maintains a wide range of services online. Please check those resources at www.iowadot.gov first before you schedule an appointment.
