Georgia Requirements

Georgia allows some offenders to get a restricted license following a DUI offense. The offender must meet all criteria, and install an ignition interlock device (IID) from an approved provider. This guide will cover how the interlock process works in Georgia.

Requirements

The GA Ignition Interlock Program

Georgia treats DUI offenses seriously. The legal BAC (blood alcohol content) limit is .08 percent. Drivers found to have a BAC at or above this amount are considered to be driving under the influence. Administrative penalties could include a license suspension. Offenders who install an ignition interlock device may be able to regain driving privileges during the suspension period.

What Happens if I Get a DUI in Georgia?

In Georgia, the legal blood alcohol content (BAC) level is .08 percent, and offenders with a BAC above that limit risk a variety of penalties. These penalties increase for repeat offenders and depend on the circumstances of the incident. There are harsher penalties if the incident causes damage or injury, for example. The penalties imposed on offenders may change depending on the circumstances of the offense. For example, penalties are different if the offender is under 21 years old, or if there is damage or injury caused by the incident.

First DUI Offense

  • License reinstatement fee of $210
  • Fine of $300-$1,000
  • One year of jail time possible
  • May be required to attend DUI school
  • 40 hours of community service, minimum
  • License suspended for up to 12 months
  • Ignition interlock may be required to regain license

Second DUI Offense (Within 5 Years of First Offense)

  • 48 hours mandatory jail time, with the possibility of serving 90 days to one year
  • Fine of $600-$1,000
  • Community service required for 30 days minimum
  • $210 license reinstatement fee
  • License suspended for three years
  • Must be evaluated at a clinic and may be required to complete a treatment program
  • Interlock may be required to regain license

Third DUI Offense (Within 5 Years of Second Offense)

  • 15 days jail time minimum
  • Minimum 30 days of community service
  • Driver’s license revoked for five years
  • $1,000 to $5,000 in fines
  • Offender’s name, picture, and address is published in the local newspaper (offender must pay for placement)
  • Offender is categorized as a habitual violator and the license plate for their car is seized and sent to the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety
  • Offender must undergo a clinical evaluation and may be required to complete a substance abuse treatment program
  • Interlock may be required to regain license

How Do I Regain Driving Privileges in Georgia?

In Georgia, offenders may be able to get a restricted driver’s license, also known as a limited driving permit. The limitations allow offenders to drive to and from school, work, doctor’s visits, community service, and the grocery store. To get the permit, offenders must meet a variety of criteria. This criteria includes:

  • Serve the suspension period mandated by the court (up to two years for repeat offenders)
  • Pay any necessary fines
  • Attend DUI school, complete a clinical evaluation and any other mandated treatment programs, and provide a certificate of proof
  • Install an IID from an approved provider like Intoxalock
  • Submit the license fee and any other applicable fees to the appropriate parties
  • Show proof of SR-22 insurance

There may be additional requirements before a license is granted, depending on the circumstances of the offense.

The Process: What to Expect

The DUI process may seem complex, but having a clear understanding of each step will help you stay on course.
  1. Consult with Legal Counsel

    Seek guidance from a DUI lawyer to understand your legal options and rights following a DUI violation.

  2. Get an Assessment

    Complete a court-ordered or voluntary assessment to evaluate your risk level and determine any required interventions.

  3. Obtain Proof of SR-22 Insurance, If Required

    If applicable, provide proof of financial responsibility and insurance coverage with an SR-22 certificate.

  4. Schedule Interlock Install

    Speak to our State Specialists to schedule your IID installation to meet court or state requirements.

  5. Regular Monitoring

    Your ignition interlock usage will be regularly monitored to maintain compliance with legal requirements.

  6. Device Removal

    After fulfilling your IID requirement and receiving approval from your monitoring authority, you can arrange to have your ignition interlock device removed at your local service center.

Interlock Cost in Georgia

Georgia, like many states, requires offenders to cover the cost of their ignition interlock device. The devices are leased rather than purchased outright. The cost of an interlock device is typically between $2.50 and $3.50 per day, and Intoxalock has flexible payment options.
