      Idaho State Laws and IID Requirements

      In Idaho, the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit is .08 percent. This means that anyone with a BAC at or above .08 percent is at risk of a DUI conviction. The penalties include financial penalties and administrative penalties that may include license suspension, jail time, or community service. First-time offenders may be eligible to enter a diversion program, where they’d be required to install an ignition interlock device, or IID, for a mandatory period of time. All first-time offenders are also required to have an IID for a year following their license suspension. With an IID, offenders may be able to regain their driving privileges faster, as the devices prevent drivers from starting their car with alcohol in their system.

      What Happens if I Get a DUI in Idaho?

They get harsher after the first offense, and if there is property damage or a blood alcohol content that’s .20 or higher. If an offender refuses to take a BAC test, they risk their license being suspended for at least one year. Refusing to take the test does not mean freedom from penalty.

      How Do I Get a Restricted Driver’s Permit in Idaho?

      In Idaho, offenders who install an ignition interlock device and meet other criteria may be eligible for a restricted driver’s permit. This permit allows them to regain driving privileges during a suspension period. To get a restricted driver’s permit, offenders should:

      • Complete all court-ordered treatment or community service and pay all fines
      • Fill out the application form for a restricted permit
      • Show proof of SR-22 insurance in their name
      • Provide a signed and dated Driver’s Agreement
      • Work and or school verification for restricted driver’s permit - in some cases, the driver’s school or employer may need to verify enrollment or employment
      • Install an ignition interlock device

      Sometimes the specifics of the incidence mean there are additional requirements, but this is the general criteria that applies to every offender.

      ADS ID Interlock Devices

      A hardship license requires an ignition interlock device, which must be installed by an approved provider. IIDs are also mandatory after suspension. ADS and our partner network are approved in Idaho, so you know you will be in compliance with state regulations.

      What is an Ignition Interlock Device?

      Ignition interlocks are small devices installed inside your vehicle that:

      • Won’t let you start your vehicle if you have alcohol in your system
      • Randomly requests retests of your Breath Alcohol Content (BrAC) while you’re driving to prevent device tampering and drunk driving

      How Long is an ID Interlock Device Required?

      The IID requirement period is dependent on the statute. The court may also take into account the number of offenses on the driver’s record, and if there were aggravating factors to the DUI offense. In general, the devices are required for the suspension period and potentially some time after the suspension period ends.


      Ignition Interlock Cost in Idaho

      Offenders are responsible for the cost of the device. There is financial assistance available for anyone the court deems indigent.

      How Much Does an IID Cost?

      The price of the device is typically between $2.50 and $3.50 a day.
