Complaint Form Procedure

Complaint forms from the Office of Motor Vehicle Enforcement are used for resolving situations such as:
  • not receiving a vehicle title in the allotted time
  • false odometer statements
  • complaints concerning licensed dealers

Note: The forms are not for use concerning mechanical functions of a vehicle or its road worthiness; these are normally handled by a private counsel and are civil matters. Complaints about whether prior damage to a vehicle was disclosed are handled by the Consumer Protection Division of the Iowa Attorney General's Office.

Complaint forms can be obtained from this website, the Office of Motor Vehicle Enforcement at the address listed below; by calling 515-237-3221, from your county treasurer's office, or from the motor vehicle enforcement investigator in your area.
