What is an IID?

An ignition interlock device, or IID, is sometimes called a car breathalyzer. The devices are wired into a vehicle’s ignition system. Once installed, an IID will require the driver to take and pass a Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC) test before they can start the car. The device will also request random retests during most trips to prevent tampering and ensure that the driver remains sober.

If IID installation is mandated by the court following an alcohol-based driving offense, then all testing results will be shared with the state’s monitoring authority. Interlocks are often a requirement for regaining driving privileges following an offense. Devices are available on a voluntary basis to anyone who wants to install one as well.

How Do I Know if I Need an IID?

If you are required to install an ignition interlock device following an offense, this will be made clear to you in court. Typically, state law and the court order will dictate the interlock term, so you can often find this information on your state’s official website. If you are at all unsure that you need an interlock, check with your attorney or your state’s driver's administration, which should be able to assist.

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 844-837-3850 for an instant personalized quote that includes installation at a service location near you. Any required and potential charges are available for review. Participants may qualify for financial assistance from KYTC. To learn more about the application process, visit: Drive.ky.gov.

To obtain an Ignition Interlock License, Drivers May Need to:

  • Show proof of a valid Kentucky vehicle registration (or out-of-state registration if the offender is out of state).

  • If the driver is not listed on the registration, they must provide a notarized letter from the owner giving permission to install the device in their vehicle.

  • Pay a $40 reinstatement fee.

  • If approved, drivers required by KIIP will receive a Letter of Approval, which must be taken to the state-approved interlock provider (like Intoxalock 844-837-3850) when it is time for installation. Diversion participants will not receive this.

  • The service center will give the driver a Certificate of Installation once the IID is installed, which the driver will take to the license-issuing location as proof of installation.
