New York ignition interlock device laws

When an IID is ordered by a court, it must be installed on each vehicle you own and operate, and must remain installed for the duration of your IID order. The IID restriction will appear on the back of your driver license document as “interlock device.” The restriction will be added to your driver license record even if your license is revoked.
