Information on Alaska DWI and Ignition Interlock Laws

Administrative

Alaska has both administrative and criminal licensing sanctions after you are arrested for a DUI. You will have to attend to both to drive legally. A full explanation of the administrative license suspension and the criminal license suspension in Alaska can be found here.

Alaska ignition interlock (IID) laws require that any driver convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) must install an IID, including an electronic log device, on every vehicle they own or which is registered to them. 1^st offenders may be eligible for a limited license with an ignition interlock after 30 days; 2^nd and subsequent offenders after 90 days. Offenders with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .16 or higher require an ignition interlock for six months minimum after the suspension period. During the suspension, you may not operate a motor vehicle unless it is equipped with a certified ignition interlock device. You must pay all costs associated with the installation and maintenance of the IID.

Judicial

The court may order the screening, evaluation, referral, and program requirements of an alcohol safety action program as a condition of probation or parole. In addition to fines, $300 in court costs must be paid. Community service work can be mandated in place of or in addition to imprisonment.

Note: These penalties are for non-felony DUI convictions. Penalties for felony DUI convictions are more severe.

Every situation and state is unique, please consult with your attorney or your state licensing authority to confirm your requirements and obligations.
