Can I Take My Interlock Device Out of the Country?

What happens if you are ordered to use an Interlock Device but you need to travel? Can you vacation in Mexico or Canada, for instance, and take the Interlock Device out of the country while you’re on an Interlock Device program? There is no black or white answer to this question. In fact, this question must be answered on a case-by-case basis, if you can travel with your Interlock at all.

There are different factors to think about if you want to ask your State Authority about this option.

Customer Service Support

Constant customer service support is a factor a lot of clients take relief in during their program. If you decide to take the Interlock Device out of the country, receiving assistance could be difficult. For instance, if a Lockout were to happen, you would not be able to reach any of our service centers within the U.S. Although Smart Start is an international provider, every country’s regulations are different, and will not apply to your program in the U.S.

Stay in the U.S. For Your Program

Smart Start recommends staying in the U.S. while on your Interlock Device program. As well as the above reasons, you could receive unintended legal consequences.

Remaining in your state of conviction during your period with the Interlock will save you confusion and stress. You’ll be able to easily access the support and assistance you need, as well as being able to visit our service center on your scheduled calibration appointments.

Speaking of appointments, calibration updates for your Interlock must occur at our service center every 30 or 60 days, depending on the state you live in. Keeping up with these appointments is important! If you miss one, this could result in additional charges and consequences from your State Authority.
