How Do I Regain Driving Privileges in Louisiana?

Some offenders may be eligible to regain their driving privileges if they agree to install an ignition interlock device (IID). They must also comply with the state’s interlock requirements or risk their interlock term being extended. They may be required to meet other criteria, including:

• Install an IID at an approved provider and provide proof to the court or office of motor vehicles.
• Pay all applicable fines.
• Provide proof of SR-22 insurance.
• Complete any mandated treatment or community service programs.

The court may require additional criteria depending on the specifics of the offense.

Program maintenance:

• Bring your IID in for monthly calibration service as indicated on the device, every 30 days, as required by DMV to maintain good standing with the IID Program.

Please keep in mind that the steps listed above provide an overview of what is required to restore your license. Please check with your state’s website for more complete details.
