Hi, Kathy. The title issue date won’t have an effect on when the registration expires. In Iowa, the owner of a vehicle can select any month to be their registration month, regardless of when the title is issued. If you can provide the title number, license plate number, or VIN we could look into it for you. For sure a vehicle’s registration is valid for one month past the expiration date listed on the registration.
You have 30 days to transfer. Otherwise you'll have late fees.
