What if a Family Member Passed and They Had an Ignition Interlock?

If a family member passed away and they had an Ignition Interlock in their vehicle, you may be wondering what the next steps are. What happens, and how do you get the device removed?

First off, we don’t want you to worry. There are many things you are probably taking care of during this time. Removing your family member’s Ignition Interlock will not be one of them.

Smart Start is available to help our clients and their family members through any part of their program. Our Customer Care team will be able to assist and walk you through next steps when you call us at [company_variable name=”Corporate Telephone Number Link”].

Ignition Interlock Removal Process

The device removal process varies by state or even by county in a situation where an Ignition Interlock client passes away. However, in most cases, we will need to provide your passing family member’s death certificate to their Ignition Interlock oversight agency or court. Then, the agency or court can authorize the removal of our Ignition Interlock.

Once we have authorization, the removal process can begin. On the blog, we have listed the process by state so you know exactly what to do.
