What Arizona calls it
In Arizona the limited driving privilege is the special ignition interlock restricted driver license (SIIRDL). You apply through the Arizona MVD. Typical wait before you are eligible: after serving 30 days of a 90-day suspension for a first DUI.
The filing comes first
Arizona MVD requires the SR-22 for 3 years at 25/50/15 limits and verifies it electronically.
Minimum liability in Arizona is 25/50/15, and the filing must stay active for 3 years. See Arizona SR-22 insurance.
Arizona requirements checklist
- Proof of SR-22 financial responsibility filed by your insurer
- Payment of all reinstatement and application fees
- Completion of any court-ordered alcohol or drug education program
- Certified ignition interlock device on every vehicle you drive
- Enrollment in alcohol or drug screening and education
Interlock and verification
Arizona requires a certified ignition interlock device for every DUI conviction, including first offenses.
Arizona MVD uses electronic verification; an SR-26 cancellation suspends your license immediately.
No vehicle in your name?
A non-owner Arizona policy satisfies the same filing requirement and usually costs far less than a full owner policy.
Fees to expect
