Attention to all parents of Minor School License holders:

Effective Monday, July 1st the current MSL
will be updated and renamed to the Special Minor's Restricted License (SMRL). This updated license will include work privileges, standardized driving distances for all students and purposes, and stricter penalties for traffic offenses committed by minors using the license.

MSL holders do not need to appear to be reissued.

Iowa Department of Transportation has mailed out a letter to all MSL holders, informing them of this change. Included in this letter is a new consent form that should be kept in the vehicle the minor operates. Should you not receive this letter, this form is available in office, or can be found online at IowaDOT.gov under forms.
