321A.29 Duration of proof — when proof may be canceled or returned.
1. The department shall upon request consent to the immediate cancellation of a bond or certificate of insurance, or the department shall return to the person entitled thereto a certificate of deposit filed pursuant to this chapter as proof of financial responsibility, or the department shall waive the requirement of filing proof, in any of the following events:
a. At any time after two years from the date such proof was required when, during the two-year period preceding the request, the department has not received record of a conviction or a forfeiture of bail which would require or permit the suspension or revocation of the license, registration, or nonresident’s operating privilege of the person by or for whom such proof was furnished.
b. In the event of the death of the person on whose behalf such proof was filed or the permanent incapacity of such person to operate a motor vehicle.
c. In the event the person who has given proof surrenders the person’s license and registration to the department.
2. The department shall not consent to the cancellation of a bond or return a certificate of deposit in the event an action for damages upon a liability covered by such proof is then pending or a judgment upon any such liability is unsatisfied, or in the event the person who has filed such bond or such certificate of deposit has within one year immediately preceding such request been involved as an operator or owner in any motor vehicle accident resulting in injury or damage to the person or property of others. An affidavit of the applicant as to the nonexistence of such facts, or that the applicant has been released from all of the applicant’s liability, or has been finally adjudicated not to be liable, for such injury or damage, shall be sufficient evidence thereof in the absence of evidence to the contrary in the records of the department.
3. If a person whose proof has been canceled or returned under subsection 1, paragraph “c”, applies for a license or registration within a period of two years from the date proof was originally required, such application shall be refused unless the applicant reestablishes proof for the remainder of the two-year period.
