Do I have to register my protective order in Iowa in order to get it enforced?

You do not need to register a protective order from another state to get it enforced. Iowa will enforce your order if:

  1. you can show the officer a copy of your order; and
  2. the officer believes that it is a real (valid) order.1 

However, registering your order in Iowa may help local law enforcement officers more easily check that your order is valid.
