Installation Requirements

1: A Photo ID - If you do not have a photo ID, bring two pieces of mail showing proof of residency

2: Vehicle Registration - In the event you have just purchased the vehicle, or lost your registration all you need to bring in is proof of purchase or ownership. If you do not own the vehicle, the owner will be required to sign a waiver which will allow you to install the device into their vehicle.

3: The Vehicle - You will need to be sure your vehicle is in good working order. If you are unsure about your battery, starter or alternator, please have a mechanic test your system to be sure it is working properly. The ignition interlock is an electronic piece of equipment which is powered by your vehicle. If your battery, alternator, or starter/ignition system is not functioning properly, it will not allow the unit to function properly. We do not install our devices on any inoperable vehicles.

Monthly Service and Calibration

• Once a month you will be required to bring your vehicle in for service and calibration
• At that time, you will make your next monthly payment, and schedule your next service
• All necessary device information will be downloaded and sent to your monitoring authority
• Your device will be calibrated and inspected to maintain all state and program requirements
• If you are working or cannot make it in on your scheduled appointment date, no problem, our unit allows a grace period past your appointment (** Consult your Authority **)

Removal

• Once all state and program requirements are fulfilled, a removal can be scheduled
• OMV Clients:
  • Retain any forms given to you after applying for your ignition interlock license
• Judge and/or other Monitoring Authority:
  • You may be issued an official removal clearance / notification on letterhead
  • You may need your court minutes stating the order to remove the unit
• You will need to present a valid driver's license with no interlock restrictions.
• Once the above has been provided and verified, we simply remove your device
