For first-time offenders and repeat DUI offenders, your license will be confiscated immediately per Florida’s Administrative License Revocation (ALR) if:
- Your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level was .08 or higher
- You refused a breath test
Florida’s Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) may also require you to install and maintain an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) on your vehicle. You’re required to pay for all costs associated with the IID, from installation, monthly lease payments, service fees to removal. You may also be required to pay additional court fines and costs related to your DUI offense as well as enroll in alcohol monitoring programs.

Florida Diversion Programs
Diversion programs in certain Florida counties can offer qualified offenders the opportunity to reduce their charge through a series of rehabilitative sanctions, including the use of an Ignition Interlock Device as well as other necessary steps. Admittance to these programs are determined by the State Attorney in the county where the program is offered.
