    To enter your driver's license information, be sure to use the MM/DD/YYYY format. Be sure to not use any extra spaces or dashes. The issue date year should, by definition, occur before the expiration date year.

     

    If all these things are entered correctly and you still experiencing unexpected results, close out of the program, close the browser window and re-open using Chrome on a PC.

    This did not work-- trying to eFile in iowa and the "order" is incorrect, this is using the windows desktop application.

    If I try to reverse the date, it doesn't work either-- it won't even let me out of the box.

    Finally got this to work.  The error makes it seems the month and day are reversed, but that is not the case.  The error is because you enter the expiration date on the top section and the issue data on the bottom section, that is the reversal.
