Note: There is no reinstatement exception if a vehicle is not owned or routinely operated by the suspended individual.
    
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.
 

Conviction	Time Period
First conviction	Only required if ordered by the court
First conviction of .15 or higher or minor in vehicle	At least 6 months
Second conviction	At least 1 year
Second conviction of .15 or higher or minor in vehicle	At least 2 years
Third conviction	At least 2 years
Fourth or subsequent conviction	At least 5 years

 
If you have not had an IID installed on your vehicle(s), this will be reflected on your driver license record.  Visit an IID vendor (see Section 1) to have the IID installed on your vehicle(s).  Once installed, you must visit our office to have the 2 restriction added to your driver’s license. The IID MUST be installed prior to visiting our office & proof of installation is required.   
A violation of the IID (2 restriction) may be an event such as: 2 breath tests above the fail point upon start-up, a refusal to provide a rolling retest deep lung breath sample, a rolling retest above the fail point, or tampering, which breaches the guidelines for use of the IID.  If you are convicted of violating the IID, you will serve a revocation period (based on prior violations). And, the original time period will start over upon reinstatement of the revocation period.
 

Violation	Time Period
First violation	1 year revocation
Second violation	5 year revocation

 
Your driving privilege will be cancelled as a result of any of the following:
 

• Failure to report for IID vendor download appointment
• Failure to pay vendor fees
• Failure to schedule an IID violation appointment
• Failure to report for treatment referral
• Early de-install of IID

Prior to cancellation of your driving privileges, contact a licensed DUI Program Provider that serves the county where you live, work, or attend school to schedule an appointment.  The DUI program will review the use of the IID with you and discuss the circumstances related to the cancellation. For additional information related to Cancellations for Failure to Comply, contact the Bureau of Motorist Compliance at (850) 617 2505.

If you have questions about using an out-of-state vendor to install an IID (you live in another state), contact the Bureau of Motorist Compliance at (850) 617 2505 for assistance. 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.
    
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.
