We will send a notice of eligibility to those qualified for the special restricted driver license. Contact us to verify whether you are eligible for the special restricted driver license. If you are eligible, MVD will tell you how to apply.

Cost will vary by the manufacturer and possibly by the service center. In accordance with ARS 28-1462 and A.A.C. R17-5-614, the service provider will collect $20 for each installed or transferred device. All other fees are established by the Manufacturer and service centers. The MVD does not regulate or monitor any fee above the $20 install fee. See Interlock Installation and Monitoring for a complete listing, and choose the one that best fits your needs.

State law requires that your driving privilege remain suspended or revoked until MVD receives proof of a functioning interlock in each motor vehicle you operate, even though you may not be the registered owner (see ARS 28-1461). Some manufactures may require written authorization from all owners prior to install.

Certain violations for first time convictions may be eligible for a 6 month deferment. Certain restrictions apply, including no violations during the first 6 months and showing up to all scheduled appointments. Please contact us to see if you are eligible for the 6 month deferment.

The violation will be reported to the MVD and your interlock requirement could be extended for 6 to 12 months. Please see our Certified Ignition Interlock tab.

No. The law requires use of the interlock for at least one year from the date that your driving privilege is eligible to reinstate or from the date MVD receives the report of conviction, whichever occurs later. (see ARS 28-1461).

The camera is required to capture a single image at the time of a breath sample. If the manufacturer utilizes a short video to ensure a clear image of the driver is captured, only a still image is reported on the logs that are sent to MVD.

Anytime a breath sample is provided.

The law requires all newly installed, transferred or replaced devices to be equipped with a camera, GPS, and real time reporting capabilities. (See ARS 28-1462 and A.A.C. R17-5-604. Effective July 1, 2018.)
