If your license has been suspended as a result of a DUI or Physical Control conviction then you are most likely eligible for an Ignition Interlock License (“IIL”). An IIL allows you to drive vehicles equipped with an ignition interlock device while your regular license is suspended or revoked for an alcohol-related DUI charge or Physical Control charge.

The application for the IIL can be downloaded at the following URL: http://www.dol.wa.gov/forms/500023.pdf.

The instructions to apply for an IIL can be located at the following URL: http://www.dol.wa.gov/driverslicense/iil.html.

In a nutshell, to be eligible for an IIL, your driving record must show that:

•You have been arrested for, or convicted of, an alcohol-related DUI or Physical Control.
•You have had a valid driver license.
•You have a Washington State residence address.
•You haven’t been convicted of vehicular assault or vehicular homicide within 7 years before the incident for which you are requesting an IIL.
•Your current suspension or revocation isn’t for, or doesn’t include, Minor in Possession, Reckless Driving reduced from an alcohol-related DUI, Vehicular Assault, Vehicular Homicide, or Habitual Traffic Offender.
