Do you have to have license plate on front and back?

I live in Iowa and I just noticed friday evening that my front plate is gone....Is it illegal not to have plates on the front or is fine as long as you have them on the back

IA is one of the states that require a front and rear plate. You can be issued a citation for failure to have the front plate displayed on your vehicle.

Contact your nearest DMV office,or go to their website & see what the steps are that you need to do to replace the plate.

if they gave you a plate to put on the front then its illegal to not have it here in arizona they give you only one plate for the rear

if you have Iowa plates you need to have them front and back, since your plate was stolen you're going to have to pay for new plates.

it depends on the state. I live in minnesota, and am right on the border of IA, 12 min, so i am in iowa quite a bit. I always see iowans having license plates on the front of their car, so I'm about 90% positive in iowa you do have to have them on the front as well in the back.

Call your state Department of Transportation. Some states require both front and back, while some states like Florida where I live only issues one plate and must be displaced on the rear. Generally, if your state issued you two plates, they are both required. A replacement can be obtained at your local automobile registration office. And yes, there will be an additional fee. You may get by without a ticket, but you can be sure that sooner or later some law enforcement will pull you over. Sorry for the loss of your plate.

Yes, you need to display front and rear license plates in Iowa.

If your state issues two plates to you, then you have to have one on the front and one on the back. Where I live (AZ), you only get one plate, and it goes on the rear. Yes, you can get ticketed for not having a front plate, if they are required in Iowa.
