Understanding Tennessee DUI Requirements

Information as of 2/1/25.

What consequences might you have to face to move past your DUI in Tennessee? Here’s a quick look at some of the most common requirements.

Depending on several factors, including your BAC and whether it’s your first DUI, Tennessee’s DUI penalties, as listed by the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security, can include:

  • From $350 to $15,000 in fines
  • Up to a year of jail time, with a minimum of 48 hours
  • License revocation for one to eight years
  • Alcohol and drug treatment programs
  • Vehicle seizure and forfeiture

Consequences can be more severe if your DUI arrest included aggravating factors such as a crash, refused BAC test, or a BAC of .15 or higher.

License revocation can be an especially tough penalty, but most drivers can apply for a restricted driver’s license that includes the requirement to have an Ignition Interlock Device installed. Under Tennessee Ignition Interlock laws, you’ll be financially responsible for your Interlock Device, including lease, installation, and other fees and expenses.
