Navigating New Jersey's ignition interlock laws can be overwhelming, but staying compliant is essential to regaining and keeping your driving privileges. Under the updated 2026 New Jersey MVC (Motor Vehicle Commission) guidelines, ignition interlock devices (IIDs) are required for all first-time and repeat DUI offenders.

Who is Required to Install an Interlock Device?

• First Offenders (BAC 0.08% to 0.10%): Required to install an interlock device on their primary vehicle for three months.
• First Offenders (BAC 0.10% to 0.15%): Required to install an IID for a duration ranging from 7 to 12 months.
• First Offenders (BAC 0.15% or higher): Mandatory license suspension during the installation period, followed by 9 to 15 months of IID compliance.
• Repeat Offenders: Mandatory license suspension followed by an interlock requirement spanning 2 to 4 years.
