Any driver subject to an order of administrative license revocation from the Department or who has an order for an IIP and ignition interlock device from a court or the Board may apply for an IIP.
The Applicant will verify eligibility for an ignition interlock device through Click DMV, Driver License Services, Check Ignition Interlock Eligibility or by calling the Financial Responsibility Division at 402-471-3985.
The Department will provide an online application for issuance on the Department webpage at www.dmv.ne.gov. A paper application form will also available upon request. The application shall contain a statement from the applicant for an IIP that he or she acknowledges that he or she understands that he or she will have his or her license administratively revoked pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 60-498.01 and 60-493.02, that he or she waives his or her right to a hearing to contest the revocation, and that he or she understands that he or she is required to have an ignition interlock permit to legally operate a motor vehicle for the period of the revocation and may be subject to no-driving periods as specified in statute before the IIP may be issued.
The Department of Motor Vehicles will authorize issuance of an IIP to a driver who, after he or she has submitted an order for an IIP from a court or the Board of Pardons or submitted an application for an IIP while subject to an administrative license revocation, has met all requirements, and is not ineligible for an IIP for any reason. After authorization, as set forth below, the IIP applicant shall apply for the IIP.
Prior to issuance of an IIP, the Department shall review its records of any driver who applies for an IIP allowing operation of a motor vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device to determine (a) the applicant's eligibility for an IIP; (b) the applicant's previous convictions under Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-6,196, 60-6,197, or 60-6,197.06 or any previous administrative license revocation within any preceding 15 years, if any; (c) if the applicant is subject to any required no-drive periods before the IIP may be issued; and (d) the permitted driving uses to be allowed to that driver on his or her IIP. The Department will determine the eligibility of the driver, and apply any credit the driver may have for revocation dates served or no-driving days served before issuing the IIP to the driver. A driver shall contact the Department to determine their eligibility for an ignition interlock device prior to having a device installed.
After authorization, an IIP may be obtained at a Department licensing station in Nebraska or through an online issuance process.
Ignition interlock driving privileges with an IIP for new or repeat offenders shall be subject to driving restrictions as required by Nebraska statute at the time the permit was issued. Any applicable driving restrictions will be printed on the reverse of the IIP.
A person who is subject to a revocation of his or her driver license may not legally operate a motor vehicle equipped with an ignition interlock device until he or she has been issued an IIP. The IIP may be renewed if the permit expires prior to the end of any revocation period the driver has been ordered to serve. The fees for such license or permit shall be as provided in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 60-4,115 and shall be paid at the time the IIP is issued.
Whenever it comes to the attention of the Director that a person has tampered with or circumvented an ignition interlock device installed pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 60-498.01 through 60-498.04 or operated a motor vehicle not equipped with a functioning ignition interlock device required pursuant to such sections or otherwise violated allowed purposes for operation indicated on the IIP under such sections shall, in addition to any possible criminal charges, have his or her revocation period and IIP extended for six months beyond the end of the original revocation period.
An IIP shall not be issued for the operation of a commercial motor vehicle.
IIPs shall be available to drivers according to Nebraska statutes in place on the date of the driver's arrest.
A driver who has completed his or her period of revocation cannot drive legally until he or she completes the reinstatement process with the Department and has been issued a new driver license. A driver subject to a period of revocation may need to renew the IIP if his or her period of driver license revocation exceeds five years.
A driver required to have an IIP and ignition interlock device must contact the device's provider to have the interlock data logger downloaded within five days of an occurrence listed below. Failure of the driver to arrange and complete such download or service within five days shall cause the motor vehicle to permanently lockout.
