Secondary proof of identification

Install an Ignition Interlock Device. You can find an Ignition Interlock installation center in Washington on our website!

Obtain proof of financial responsibility. Typically, this involves purchasing and filing a SR-22 form with the Washington State Department of Licensing (DOL), which is a certificate of financial responsibility that your insurance company files on your behalf.

Apply for the Ignition Interlock License. You can apply for an IIL restricted license by submitting an application to the Washington State Department of Licensing. The application may include your personal information, details about your vehicle and IID, and the SR-22 certificate.

Pay the required fees. There will be fees associated with the IIL application, IID installation, and monthly maintenance. Make sure to pay all necessary fees to both the DOL and your interlock device provider.

Wait for approval. Once your application is submitted along with all required documentation and fees, the DOL will review your application. If approved, you will receive your Ignition Interlock License, which allows you to drive legally with the IID installed.

Comply with license restrictions and requirements. With an IIL, you must drive vehicles equipped with an IID only. Additionally, you must comply with all terms set forth by the DOL, including regular IID data downloads and maintenance checks.

It’s important to stay in communication with the Washington State Department of Licensing throughout this process for any specific requirements or changes in legislation. Always check the latest guidelines and procedures on the DOL’s official website or with a legal professional to ensure compliance with current laws.
