Interlock Installation

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.

Yes. The interlock manufacturer is required to send reports of your interlock usage electronically to MVD. All violations are reported in real time on a daily basis. If those reports indicate a failure to comply with interlock requirements, tampering, circumvention or certain other violations, you will receive notification from MVD extending your original interlock requirement for an additional six to 12 months.

Contact your interlock manufacturer, or show MVD your copy of the Proof of Installation form provided to you by your service center.

Ensure all requirements are met prior to install. Once you install your installer will electronically notify MVD within 24 hours of the installation. You may show MVD your copy of the Proof of Installation form provided to you by your service center at the time of installation.

Upon conviction of driving without an interlock device as required by ARS 28-1464, your requirement to maintain an interlock will be extended for one additional year after your original requirement would have ended.

The interlock requirement is effective immediately. Failure to have the device installed and to provide verification to MVD within 30 days from the date of conviction, may result in immediate suspension of your Arizona driving privilege and possible extension of the original interlock requirement.
