Ignition Interlock Device Program

The Oregon State Police is the regulatory authority of ignition interlock devices, interlock service technicians and interlock service centers throughout Oregon State. The ignition interlock program of the Oregon State Police is operated out of the Patrol Services Division and consists of law enforcement officers and support staff dedicated to interlock compliance and public safety.

A breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID or simply IID) is attached to the ignition of a motor vehicle and is designed to prevent a motor vehicle from being operated by a person who has consumed an alcoholic beverage. When properly installed and calibrated, the IID will prevent a driver from starting a motor vehicle if the device detects a breath alcohol concentration (BrAC) above the prescribed setpoint.

Check the labels of the items on this list that you use and avoid using them before and while operating an interlock-equipped vehicle. If you must use them, allow 10-15 minutes after use to allow for the alcohol to dissipate. Manufacturers recommend not smoking, eating or drinking anything while operating an interlock-equipped vehicle. If you have not consumed alcoholic beverages and have failed breath samples, contact your manufacturer's customer service department for assistance.

​​Diversion and Conviction Flow Chart​​​

​Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How long do I have to have an IID?
A: Diversion drivers have a minimum 1 year requirement. Conviction drivers have a minimum 1, 2, or 5 year requirement. These requirements remain on your driving record until a No Negative Report is properly processed.

Q: What is a No Negative Report?
A: A No Negative Report is a review of the device logs to ensure there are no violations. This review is normally the last 90 days of your requirement.
 
Q: Can I get my device out early?
A: Diversion drivers are allotted the opportunity to petition to the court for an early removal of their year requirement by receiving a 6 month No Negative Report. Conviction does not have an early removal opportunity.
 
Q: I don’t have a vehicle. Do I still need an IID?
A: An IID is required for any vehicle you operate on a public roadway. This includes rentals, friends or family cars. The requirement will remain on your driving record until a No Negative Report is processed.
 
Q: How much does an IID cost?
A: The overall cost of an IID is a combination of services provided, such as, installation, calibration and removal. Pricing varies from company to company. To find out how much an IID costs, you must contact the companies.

Q:Do you monitor the interlock?
A: Yes. The interlock manufacturer is required to send reports of your interlock usage electronically to DMV. If those reports indicate a failure to comply with interlock requirements, tampering, circumvention, or certain other violations, you will receive notification from DMV extending your original interlock requirement. 

Q: Why must there be a camera and GPS installed?
A: The camera must be mounted to the vehicle in such a way to maximize an image of the front driver and passenger seats. The device camera must capture a photo in each of the following circumstances: when a breath sample is requested; when a breath sample is submitted, when a test violation or device circumvention is recorded as described in ORS 813.599 and OAR 257-100-0050.
