Martin Luther King holiday Monday closes IDOT offices

Iowa Department of Transportation is announcing office closures in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Monday.

All Iowa D.O.T. business locations will be closed Monday.

All Iowa D.O.T. driver?s license stations, normally open Tuesday through Saturday, will be closed Saturday, in observance of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

Normal business hours will resume at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The Iowa D.O.T.?s Office of Vehicle and Motor Carrier Services? permit center will be closed Monday, resuming normal operations at 8 a.m. Tuesday.

Because the Office of Vehicle and Motor Carrier Services typically experiences a heavy workload on the day following a holiday, customers are urged to submit applications for oversize permits, especially those weighing more than 156,000 pounds, several days before the permit is needed.

The Office of Vehicle and Motor Carrier Services, located at 6310 SE Convenience Blvd. in Ankeny, is a one-stop source for fuel, trip and oversize load permits; International Registration Plan (IRP) registration; International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) licensing; and travel authority needed by motor carriers and commercial vehicle operators to operate in Iowa.
