What to Expect During Your Smart Start Georgia Ignition Interlock Program

March 25, 2019

If you’re feeling nervous about your Smart Start Georgia Ignition Interlock program, there’s no need to fret! By picking Smart Start, you’ve chosen excellent pricing, dependable service and a discreet Ignition Interlock device that will get you back on the road. Let’s go over what you can generally expect from your Smart Start Georgia Ignition Interlock program.

Installing Your Smart Start Georgia Ignition Interlock Device

First, you need to schedule your Smart Start Georgia Ignition Interlock installation appointment. Confirm an appointment with our friendly Customer Care Center either at (800) 831-3299 or through our short online form. Before your appointment at one of our many convenient service centers, make sure to bring the following items to your installation.

  • Two forms of ID
  • Proof of residence
  • Valid insurance
  • Valid vehicle registration
  • A designated driver with you at installation

Our expert technicians will install your easy-to-use device and show you how to test with it before you leave the service center. We will also provide the following papers for you to take to the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) to reinstate your license.

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

Remember that your program does not start until you visit the DDS and receive your Interlock restricted license! You also have the opportunity to ask any questions about your program. We’d be happy to answer them for you! During your program, you can also call our Customer Care Center any time at (800) 831-3299.

During Your Smart Start Georgia Ignition Interlock Program

The next thing you should know about your Smart Start Interlock program is calibration appointments. These monthly service appointments only last a few minutes and allow our technicians to check your device to ensure it is working properly. In Georgia, you must perform all your Ignition Interlock services in-state, so please keep this in mind if you are traveling.

In addition during your program, you will perform random running retests. These tests ensure you are complying with your Ignition Interlock program by prompting for a test at random times throughout your driving trip. Make sure to pull over and park safely to perform your random running retests.

  2. At the appointment, you’ll receive the Comprehensive Ignition Interlock Monitoring Report from our technician.
  3. Next, you must take the Comprehensive Ignition Interlock Monitoring Report to the DDS to reinstate your driver’s license, in which you’ll receive the Authorization to Remove form.
