First, please be prepared to spend several hours waiting in line, filling out your forms, attending the mandatory orientation, presenting your documents, and having your ID photo taken. (There will be a table with children’s activities.) It is a good idea to arrive before registration begins and wait in line. Do not be surprised to see uniformed members of Ames or Marshalltown Police at the ID drive. The law enforcement that is based in our communities is a big supporter of the Central Iowa Community ID card because they believe it helps them serve and protect our entire community.
