Alaska Requirements

Alaska takes road safety seriously and refers to drunk driving incidents as OUI, or operating under the influence. This guide will go over how the IID process works in Alaska.

The AK Ignition Interlock Program

The legal blood alcohol content (BAC) limit throughout the large state is .08 percent, and those found to violate this rule risk a variety of financial and administrative penalties. Penalties include license suspension, though some offenders may be able to regain their driving privileges by installing an interlock device and participating in Alaska’s IID program.

Offenders who violate the Alaska OUI laws will have their license suspended, even on the first offense. After serving a portion of their suspension period, eligible offenders who install an IID may be granted an interlock license. This will allow them to drive during the suspension period.

What Happens if I Get an OUI in Alaska?

Penalties in Alaska increase depending on the severity of the offense, and if there are prior offenses on record.

First OUI Offense

  • 72 hours to one year in jail
  • $1,500 to $25,000 in fines
  • 90 days license suspension
  • Ignition interlock device required for six months

Second OUI Offense

  • 20 days to one year in jail
  • $3,000 to $25,000 in fines
  • One-year license suspension
  • IID required for 12 months

Third OUI Offense

  • 60 days to one year in jail
  • $4,000 to $25,000 in fines
  • Three years license suspension
  • Interlock device required for 18 months

If there are two prior convictions on record within 10 years, and a third is committed, the penalties increase significantly. A third OUI in 10 years can result in up to five years in jail, fines up to $50,000, and permanent license revocation. Some offenders can apply for an IID license to drive to and from work or alcohol abuse treatment. 

What Happens if I Fail to Complete or Refuse to Submit to an OUI Test in Alaska?

Refusing a blood alcohol content or breathalyzer test does not remove consequences for an offender. Refusing a test can result in an immediate license suspension and additional possible penalties.

How Do I Regain Driving Privileges in Alaska?

Qualified offenders may be able to get back on the road during their suspension period. After serving a specific portion, eligible offenders can apply for an interlock license, which will allow them to drive as long as they have an IID installed. Here is what offenders must do:

  • Install an IID from a trusted provider like Intoxalock and show proof of installation
  • Complete any addiction treatment, community service, or suspension time
  • Pay any fines
  • Apply for a new license with the DMV
  • Comply with all IID requirements throughout the revocation period

There may be additional criteria depending on the specifics of the alcohol-based driving offenses.
