The ID Ignition Interlock Program

In Idaho, the legal blood alcohol content limit is .08 percent, and drivers who test at or above that level risk a DUI conviction. With a DUI conviction, there are administrative penalties that include license suspension. Many offenders may have their license suspended, but some could be eligible for a diversion program. Participants in the diversion program are required to install an ignition interlock device (IID) in order to regain their driving privileges.

Idaho FAQs

An ignition interlock device is a breathalyzer device that acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring only sober drivers can start the engine.

Some drivers are required to install an ignition interlock by the court or the DMV following a conviction for drunk driving. The interlock device must be from a state-approved provider, like Intoxalock.

Offenders are required to cover the cost of their interlock device. The devices can vary in price depending on your vehicle’s make and model, and your chosen interlock provider. Intoxalock customers will pay a $91.99 to $100 deposit, and a $29.99 setup fee. Customers will also pay $41.99 to $99.99 monthly to lease the device.

If your device was mandated by the court, you will need to send the court order to idaho-compliance@intoxalock.com prior to installation. You will need to provide your monitoring authority’s name and contact information. When you are ready to install, you can make an appointment with the service center of your choosing.

You should have your Idaho driver’s license, as well as the name of the registered vehicle owner.

Intoxalock has more than 50 locations throughout Idaho, making it easy for you to find one close to you. You will return regularly for device calibration, so be sure to choose a convenient location.

You can have your device removed at the service center where it was installed. The court should send a removal order, but it is not required for device removal.

You do not need to bring any paperwork, but customers who remove the device before their requirement is done should be aware that the monitoring authority will be notified.

Financial penalties, community service, and possible education classes are potential DUI requirements.

Customers who are deemed indigent by the court may be able to receive financial assistance for the cost of their interlock device.
