Now let’s go over what to expect during your Smart Start West Virginia Ignition Interlock process.
The Beginning: Installing Your Smart Start WV Interlock
Once your application to enter the Interlock program is approved by the WV Interlock Department, it’s time to call Smart Start to schedule an installation appointment. Before you call, make sure you received your approval letter from the West Virginia DMV DUI Interlock Department! Our service center agent will need your approval number and DMV file number, which will be in your DMV approval letter.
Once you’re all set and scheduled for your installation appointment, bring the following to your West Virginia Smart Start Interlock service center.
- Two forms of ID
- Proof of residence
- Valid vehicle registration
- Insurance card (make sure to print this card if you only use your auto-insurance app)
- Inspection sticker
- DMV’s approval letter
- A licensed driver
- You need a licensed driver to drive you to the Smart Start service center and then to the DMV office to receive your Interlock-restricted license.
At your installation appointment, our friendly technicians will install the Smart Start WV Interlock into your vehicle. They will also show you how to test with the Interlock until you are comfortable with how it works. After signing some paperwork and watching our training video, our technician will provide you a letter from the Interlock Department to take to the DMV to have your Interlock-restricted license issued. Once your license is issued, you’ll be back on the road with West Virginia’s most reliable Interlock!
During Your Smart Start WV Interlock Program
You should know that the WV DMV requires you to drive your Interlock-equipped vehicle frequently at least four to five days a week.
You may have also been informed that you need to come back to a Smart Start service center either every 30 or 60 days for calibration appointments. This appointment is an opportunity for our technicians to refresh the Interlock and ensure it is working properly. Calibrations do not take long at all, so you can take care of this service during a lunch break, or whenever is more convenient for you!
Finally, you’ll need to expect random rolling retests during your driving trips with the Interlock. These random retests prompt you to provide a breath sample so you are continuing to hold yourself accountable and show you are complying with your WV Interlock program requirements.
Finally, let’s get to the end of your Smart Start WV Interlock program.
Removing the Smart Start WV Interlock
Nearing your Interlock removal date is exciting! Just remember to follow the proper process to ensure your removal is as seamless as possible.
- Call the West Virginia DMV at 304-926-2507 to pay any fees, fulfill any other obligations and to obtain your removal date.
- It’s best to schedule your Interlock removal appointment as soon as possible once you know your removal date. Call your Smart Start WV service center five days before the removal date provided to you by the DMV.
