What is a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device?
An ignition interlock device (or IID) is basically a breathalyzer that is installed into a vehicle for the purpose of preventing drunk driving. It requires the driver to submit a breath sample before being able to start the car and then requires periodic samples while driving to ensure that no alcohol has been consumed while the vehicle is in operation.
How Do I Know if I Need One?
The state of Arizona has minimum time requirements for all DUI-convicted drivers. Additional requirements may depend on the specific county in which the offense occurred. DUI-convicted drivers in Arizona should receive documentation specifying if they need to get an IID installed in their vehicle.
Driving without an ignition interlock device installed as required by the court or any other state authority could result in jail time.
How Much Will My Offense Cost?
There are many costs associated with a conviction for DUI or a similar offense. They include increased insurance rates, possible lost wages, fines, and transportation expenses if your driver’s license is revoked. If you are required to install an IID, you will be responsible for installation and monthly leasing fees. Overall, the variety of costs associated with a DUI can total several thousand dollars.
IID lease rates cost a few dollars per day. Contact Intoxalock by calling 844-478-7454 for an instant personalized quote that includes installation and activation at a service location near you. Other required and potential charges are available for review.
How Do I Get a Special Ignition Interlock Restricted Driver License (SIIRDL) in AZ?
As of January 1, 2023, Arizona allows first-time DUI-convicted drivers to request a SIIRDL in lieu of a driving privileges suspension. This means that if your license is suspended but you need to drive, you can do so if you install an IID and are granted a SIIRDL. To qualify for a SIIRDL, DUI-convicted drivers:
Contact MVD to verify eligibility or receive notice from MVD
Have no other outstanding actions on your record
Have an ignition Interlock installed within 90 days before SIIRDL issuance
Complete mandatory alcohol treatment programs (if required) and submit proof of completion to MVD
Submit proof of future financial responsibility (SR-22)
Have paid all applicable fees

The SIIRDL is designed to help drivers regain their driving privileges. It is only available to first-time DUI-convicted drivers. Others may be eligible for a Restricted License, which limits where they can drive to approved locations like school, work, medical appointments, and other necessary spots.
