Can I get an Ignition Interlock if I’m not a U.S. Citizen?

If you are working toward becoming a U.S. citizen, are you still required to use an Ignition Interlock?

Do I need an Ignition Interlock if I’m not a U.S. Citizen?

Keeping our roadways safe involves everyone who lives in America. If a state issues you a license to allow you to drive, then you are subject to the U.S. laws surrounding the use of that license. Anyone residing in the U.S. must install an Ignition Interlock if they are required to do so.

An Ignition Interlock may be required per a state jurisdiction or court order resulting from a DUI arrest. Courts can still order an Ignition Interlock as a condition of bond or probation.

Ignition Interlocks as an Option for Utmost Safety

Individuals who are not U.S. citizens can even sign up for an Ignition Interlock on a voluntary basis. Some immigrant attorneys will recommend this option to their clients.

Keep in mind! Every jurisdiction, county and/or state has different regulations for DUI cases. You should consult with an attorney regarding your residency status, and the issues you may face due to U.S., state and local requirements. You should also consult with an attorney any time you are arrested for a DUI.
