Installing a Smart Start Florida Ignition Interlock

So you’re told you need an Ignition Interlock? If so, you’re ready to call a Smart Start representative at (800) 831-3299 or fill out our online form to schedule your installation appointment. In addition to your basic information, there’s a couple other pieces revolving around your DUI case that we will need.

First, make sure you clarify why you need the Ignition Interlock, whether it’s through the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) department or the Diversion Program. You’ll also need to specify when your license revocation or suspension took place for Smart Start to properly set-up your account.

Once your preferred date and time is confirmed, make sure to bring the following with you to your installation appointment:

• Two forms of ID
• Insurance card
• Vehicle registration card
  • If you are using someone else’s vehicle for your Interlock program, our service center agent will provide a “Florida Authorization to Install” sheet for the vehicle owner to fill out.
• Licensed driver’s statement
  • This statement will be provided to you at the service center where it must be filled out and signed before leaving.
• A designated driver with you at installation

Keep in mind this information as well before your installation appointment:

• Your Florida driver’s license record must be valid
• Your vehicle must be operable and not towed in

We will also provide the following paperwork for you to take to the Florida DHSMV to receive your Interlock restricted license after your installation.

• Certificate of Interlock Installation form
• Ignition Interlock Device Provider Certification

During Your Smart Start Florida Ignition Interlock

Next, let’s go over what to expect during your Smart Start Florida Ignition Interlock program, which will include random rolling retests and calibration appointments.

Random rolling retests ensure you’re complying with your Ignition Interlock program requirements. These retests will randomly prompt you to provide a breath sample throughout your driving trip after you completed and passed your initial test to start your vehicle. Smart Start highly recommends you pull over and park safely when you’re prompted for a random rolling retest! Make sure you do not turn your engine off while you are testing.

Now let’s go into your regular calibration appointments.

You’ll need to visit your Smart Start Florida Interlock service center every 30 days. Calibrations only take a few minutes and give you an opportunity to ask our friendly service technicians any questions you may have about your Smart Start Interlock program. Remember that we’re also here for you 24/7/365 at (800) 831-3299, no matter what!
