DUI laws allow offenders to waive their right to an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing and apply for an Ignition Interlock Permit (IIP) instead.
To be eligible for the IIP
- You must be a Nebraska resident.
- You must be at least 18 years old and have been issued a license. Provisional Operator's Permit holders are not eligible for the IIP.
- The alcohol violation must have occurred in Nebraska.
- Meet all other applicable reinstatement requirements for any non-alcohol suspension or revocation actions on your Nebraska driving record. Check your Interlock Eligibility online.
- Must serve any required wait periods.
- Cannot have driving privileges removed in any other state/jurisdiction.
If you meet the above requirements, or you need to check your eligibility for the IIP, go online or call the Department of Motor Vehicles at 402-471-3985.
