How Getting an Intoxalock Works in Tennessee
An ignition interlock device is a breath-test device wired to your vehicle. The car will not start until the driver passes a breath test. Tennessee requires one for drivers with a DUI conviction who get a restricted license or reinstate with the interlock restriction. Here are the usual steps, in order.
- Get a restricted license order from the court, called an Order for Restricted Driver License (ORDL). You can also reinstate your license with the interlock restriction.
- Get SR-22 insurance.
- Have your device installed by an approved provider like The Car People. Intoxalock notes that installing within 10 days of your court order earns credit toward your term from the install date.
- Visit a Driver Services Center with your ORDL, SR-22, and proof of installation. A temporary restricted license is valid for 90 days.
- Come in every 30 days for calibration and inspection. A missed visit restarts the program.
- After the state approves completion and you have an unrestricted license, we remove the device. Please do not remove it early, because your requirement may restart.
The state sets the length of your term by offense, starting at 365 days for a first DUI. Your exact term depends on your court order. We install and service devices, but we cannot give legal advice. For questions about your requirements, contact the court or the Tennessee Ignition Interlock Program.
What to Expect at Your Installation Appointment
Your Intoxalock installation typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on your vehicle. Please bring your court order or ORDL, a photo ID, and your vehicle. If the car belongs to someone else, bring the owner’s consent. Our technician will install the device and show you how to give a proper breath sample before you leave.
