Understanding Hawaii OVUII Requirements

Basic OVUII Requirements

We know that navigating an OVUII can be overwhelming. Understanding the requirements and process after an alcohol related driving offense in Hawaii is an important step to getting back on the road. We’ve put together some general information to help you get started.

According to the Hawaii Revised Statutes, for a first-offense DUI in Hawaii, drivers can be subject to penalties that include (but may not be limited to):

  • One year to 18 months of license revocation (on top of administrative revocation)
  • Fine of $250 to $1,000
  • Up to 72 hours of community service
  • 48 hours to five days of jail time
  • Minimum 14 hours in a substance abuse rehab program
  • Over $300 in additional fees and fines

Penalties may increase for aggravating factors such as driving with a person 15 years old or younger in the vehicle, or for previous OVUII charges. 

License Reinstatement

ADLRO will determine whether or not to revoke your license after an OVUII in Hawaii. If your license is suspended, you’ll have to install an Ignition Interlock Device if you want to continue to drive during the revocation period. 

According to the Hawaii State Judiciary website, at the end of your revocation period, ADLRO will contact you with instructions for reinstating your license. If you’ve fulfilled the conditions of your program, ADLRO will issue you a reinstatement form. Take this form to the DMV, apply for reinstatement, and pay any applicable fees.

What is an Ignition Interlock Device (IID)?

An Ignition Interlock Device (IID), also called a car breathalyzer, is a device that measures breath alcohol content (BrAC). It is typically installed in your vehicle as part of an administrative or legal requirement after drunk driving. Learn more about Smart Start's Ignition Interlock here.

How do I know if Smart Start’s devices are compliant with my program?

Smart Start is the only authorized Ignition Interlock provider for the state of Hawaii. Smart Start’s Ignition Interlock Devices (IIDs) are also tested to meet the standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). 

What happens after I get my DUI/OVUII?

In Hawaii, DUI/OVUII charges are divided into two parts: administrative hearings with the Administrative Driver’s License Revocation Office (ADLRO) and criminal proceedings with a judge. Your license may be revoked either administratively and/or criminally. You are only allowed to drive legally on a revoked license if you install an approved Ignition Interlock Device (IID) in every vehicle that you drive along with having a valid Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP) and a valid state of Hawaii ID. You may contact Smart Start to begin working towards regaining your driving privileges. 

Do I need the device on all of my vehicles?

To drive legally during your revocation period, you will need to have an approved Ignition Interlock Device (IID) installed in every vehicle that you drive along with having a valid Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP) and a valid state of Hawaii ID. You may be subject to serious criminal penalties if you are caught driving during the revocation period without the above. Please explore the Hawaii Ignition Interlock Device laws in-depth. 

What if I have a requirement, but I don’t own a vehicle?

Hawaii’s Ignition Interlock law requires that you install an approved Ignition Interlock Device (IID) in any vehicle that you have access to and will drive. You must also have a valid Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP) and a valid state of Hawaii ID. Please bring a letter of permission from the registered owner of the borrowed vehicle stating that you have permission to install the IID. Smart Start frequently installs interlocks on borrowed vehicles, so this will not pose a problem at any of our service centers. 

How do the consequences differ for a first and second DUI/OVUII? Third? Fourth?

Consequences for a DUI or OVUII may differ depending on the circumstances of your individual incident. For the exact ramifications of your DUI or OVUII, please contact your attorney directly. 

Where does installation fall based on my condition?

To drive legally during your revocation period, you will need to have an approved Ignition Interlock Device (IID) installed in every vehicle that you drive along with having a valid Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP) and a valid state of Hawaii ID.

How often does my IID need to be serviced?

You will be required to return to the installation center at least every 30-60 days for vehicle monitoring, so data can be downloaded from the device and reported to the DMV. 

Where can I go for Ignition Interlock service?

What do I need to bring to my installation appointment?

You will also need to provide the Administrative Driver’s License Revocation Office (ADLRO) with a current and valid motor vehicle insurance and a completed ignition interlock permit (IIP) application.

"I had a very bad experience with Lifsavor/Guardian Interlock services. I called Smart Start and spoke with Itzel. She was very professional and polite. Not at all at Guardian. She went over the program in detail and answered all my questions in detail. It was very uplifting to talk with a positive sales rep after the degrading respect I received from the Guardian reps. Thank you so much for making this negative a positive for me! Tim "
