Pennsylvania allows some drivers to obtain an Ignition Interlock Limited License (IILL) after a DUI. This license allows you to regain your driving privileges if certain conditions are met, including installing an IID. You can request a Vehicle Registration Restoration Requirements Letter from the Pennsylvania DOT. This letter will give you specific instructions on how to restore your license and verify that you’ve completed any required conditions. If an Interlock is a requirement for you, you may also receive a letter from the Pennsylvania DOT 30 days prior to eligibility.

To apply for an IILL, you’ll complete the Ignition Interlock Limited License Petition and mail it, along with any required fees, to PennDOT. You can learn more by checking out PennDOT’s Ignition Interlock Limited License Fact Sheet.

Navigating the DUI process can be a challenge, so knowing what to expect can help. We’ve collected some general information about DUI requirements and penalties in Pennsylvania to get you started.
