Follow these steps to create your ID.iowa.gov account.

  • Go to https://id.iowa.gov/signin/register to begin.

  • Enter First name.

  • Enter Last name.

  • Enter your email address.
    Choose an email address that you’ll always be able to access. Once your account is created, you can add an additional email address, such as a work email or alternate personal address, to access your account.

  • Click the "Sign Up" Button.

  • Create your ID.iowa.gov password.

    • Click "Set Up"

Password Requirements:
Passwords must be at least 12 characters and cannot contain part of your username, first name or last name. There are no other restrictions. You can use more than one word with spaces to get to 12 characters. Try using a phrase or a series of words that is unique to you.
NOTE: Your ID.iowa.gov password should be different from passwords you use for other accounts such as your bank account or email. Using the same password for many accounts makes identity theft easier.

    • Enter Password.

    • Re-enter password.

  • Check your email to finish signing in (Admin@ID.iowa.gov <no-reply@id.iowa.gov>)

  • Locate verification code in your inbox.

  • Go to ID.gov tab.

  • Enter the verification code (from email) in the "Enter Code" box.

  • Click Verify.

We encourage users to set up additional security methods. If you choose, you may follow these instructions or you may click "Set up later".

Success!
