Section 316.193, Florida Statutes, mandates ignition interlock devices (IID) be installed on the vehicles of certain persons convicted of Driving Under the Influence (DUI).When required due to DUI conviction or directed by the court, an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) must be continuously installed on your vehicle(s) for a specified time period. In some cases, you may be required to have an IID installed per Florida Statute, even if the court does not require one based on your DUI conviction. Visit www.flhsmv.gov for a list of frequently asked questions.
 
Note: There is no reinstatement exception if a vehicle is not owned or routinely operated by the suspended individual.
  
1. IID VENDORS
 
Drivers who are required to have an IID installed will need to contact an FLHSMV approved provider for installation. Visit www.flhsmv.gov for a list of approved providers.

The standard installation time periods are listed below, however a court can authorize a longer time period.

5. OUT-OF-STATE IID COMPLIANCE

The Bureau of Motorist Compliance will determine if the out-of-state vendor will be able to comply with Florida’s IID requirements. Note: The Division of Driver Licenses in Tallahassee will not accept an out-of-state vendor installation for customers who live in Florida.
  
6. EXCEPTIONS FOR IID INSTALLATION
 
Medical Exceptions: If you are unable to operate an IID for medical reasons, you will need to contact the Medical Review section at 850-617-3814 or by email at medical@flhsmv.gov to request a medical waiver form.  If a Medical Waiver is approved, this will be indicated on your driver license record and you will receive a letter from the State with your requirements.  After fulfillment of your requirements with the DUI program, you will be required to purchase a license restricted to employment purposes only. 

Employment Vehicle Exceptions: If you meet the IID requirements, hold a valid license with a “2” restriction, and have written permission from the employer, you may operate the employer’s vehicle for job-related purposes without the required IID. The letter granting permission from the employer is to be kept with the vehicle and provided to law enforcement should you be stopped for a traffic violation. Contact the Bureau of Motorist Compliance for full requirements at (850) 617-2505.
