How do I request an administrative hearing?
Please see the Executive Hearing Office page.
I received notice that additional time will be added to my interlock requirement for reports of tampering, circumventing or having a high BAC. Whom do I contact to dispute this action?
MVD takes action based on information provided by your manufacturer. Contact your manufacturer to verify the accuracy of the information provided. If your manufacturer is unable to resolve the issue, request a hearing from the Executive Hearing Office.
What kind of violations will cause MVD to extend my interlock requirement?
You should contact your interlock manufacturer or authorized service center for questions or concerns regarding violations. However, you may also refer to any training material or brochures provided to you by your interlock provider at the time of installation. You may also refer to the Certified Ignition Interlock tab of this page.
What happens if I fail the breath test?
The interlock device will not allow the vehicle to start if the alcohol content is more then 0.02 BAC. The manufacturer will report a failed breath test over the legal limit as a violation to the department. This may extend your interlock for an additional 6 months.
I travel out of state for business and frequently have to rent a car- is this permissible?
It is not permissible for you to drive a vehicle without a device installed or the rental company to rent to you without one installed. Please contact your manufacture for more information.
Our family is planning an extended vacation and I will not be in Arizona when the calibration is due. Can I go to a service center in another state for the appointment?
Arizona requirements still need to be maintained. Contact your interlock manufacturer for more information. It is your responsibility to work with your interlock manufacturer to ensure Arizona's MVD receives all required electronic reporting until you have completed the interlock requirement.
My out-of-state interlock provider refuses to provide MVD with appropriate reports of my accuracy and compliance checks. How can I ensure that Arizona knows I'm complying?
Contact your interlock manufacturer. Arizona Administrative Code R17-5-610 requires interlock manufacturers to transmit information to us electronically.
I’m required to have an interlock installed because of a violation in Arizona, but I live in another state. Do I have to go to Arizona to have an interlock installed?
No. Contact an Arizona authorized interlock manufacturer to locate an authorized interlock service center in your state that will provide all interlock services required by the state of Arizona. It is your responsibility to work with your interlock manufacturer to ensure Arizona's MVD receives all required electronic reporting until you have completed the interlock requirement.
How will I fulfill my interlock requirement if I move out of state?
Arizona requirements still need to be maintained. Contact your interlock manufacturer to locate an authorized interlock service center in your new state that will continue to provide all interlock services required by the state of Arizona. It is your responsibility to work with your interlock manufacturer to ensure Arizona's MVD receives all required electronic reporting until you have completed the interlock requirement.
I have a commercial driver license. Am I eligible to obtain a special restricted driver license?
Only drivers with a Class D or Class G driver license may be eligible for a special restricted driver license under Arizona law. If you currently hold a commercial driver license, you must apply in person at any MVD office for a class D special restricted driver license.
