Pennsylvania Ignition Interlock Requirements

In Pennsylvania, a DUI conviction can spell hardship for many drivers. In addition to financial penalties and other requirements, many have their license suspended.

The Pennsylvania Ignition Interlock Program

Under the relatively new Pennsylvania ignition interlock law, Pennsylvania does allow some drivers to obtain an Occupational Limited License after they serve 60 days of their suspension if they install an ignition interlock device. Pennsylvania DUI laws call for a one-year driver’s license suspension for repeat DUI offenders, and the state also requires those drivers to install an ignition interlock Pennsylvania approves. The state takes a tiered approach to DUI offenses, with progressively larger penalties for repeat offenders.

All DUI Convictions that result in a 12-month or greater suspension being imposed have a 1-year Ignition Interlock Requirement. Participating in the Ignition Interlock Program is the ONLY way to get your unrestricted license back.

Ignition interlock devices require drivers to pass a Breath Alcohol Content test before they can start their car. A passing result is anything below .025 percent BrAC, or .020 for anyone under 21. Any failed results will be reported to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation PennDOT. Drivers are responsible for the cost of the device, which can vary depending on the provider. Intoxalock devices cost between $2.50-$3.50 per day. Drivers are responsible for their device and will need to return for calibration 30 days after installation, and every 60 days afterward during the course of the lease.

Suspensions are typically applied to drivers whose blood alcohol content is more than .10 percent. Here is how those offenders are treated:

  • BAC < .10 percent: No suspension on a first offense if driver meets certain criteria, 12-month suspension for repeat offenders
  • BAC equal or > .10 percent: 12 month license suspension for first and second offenders, 18 month suspension for third offenders
  • BAC > or equal to .16 percent: 12 month suspension for first offenders. 18 months for repeat offenders.

What Happens if I Fail or Refuse to Take a Test?

Pennsylvania DUI laws say that drivers who refuse to take a field sobriety or breathalyzer test in Pennsylvania risk being arrested and other additional penalties like increased license suspension on top of DUI fines.

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. Schedule Interlock Install

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

  4. Regular Monitoring

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

  5. 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.

Pennsylvania Ignition Interlock Device Cost

Any driver sentenced or required to install a PA interlock device is responsible for the cost. Devices are leased, not purchased outright. Typically:

  • Prices vary depending on your monitoring needs, but typically they cost between $2.50-$3.50 a day.
  • Intoxalock also offers a device protection plan in case of damage, for $10 a month.
  • A state specialist can help confirm pricing options for you.
  • PennDOT sends a notification 30 days prior to the date the driver will be eligible to have the device removed, so drivers can plan and schedule their removal appointment.
