Washington Ignition Interlock

An ignition interlock device is an electronic device that is installed in a vehicle. It requires that the driver blow into it before the vehicle can be started. The device acts as a mini breathalyzer, and it will not allow the driver of a vehicle to be started if alcohol is detected on their breath. The device can also record failed attempts to start your vehicle. This information can later be reported to the probation or judge.

As a condition for probation for DUI, the court may order that you use an Ignition Interlock Device. You can also apply to the Washington Department of Licensing for an Ignition-Interlock License. This will allow you to drive even if your license has been suspended for DUI.

Washington Department of Licensing offers a website that can help you obtain your Ignition Interlock License.

It is illegal to alter or circumvent an ignition interlock system.
