What Should I Expect from the Smart Start Illinois BAIID Program?

Illinois is among dozens of states that require first-time DUI offenders to have a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) if they want to retain their driving privileges. Smart Start is the perfect choice to guide you through the Smart Start Illinois BAIID program and other requirements for a DUI.

Let’s go over what you can typically expect from installation to removal.

Convenience is the Key for Smart Start Illinois BAIID

Once you’ve started fulfilling your DUI requirements in Illinois, you want to get back on the road as quickly and easily as possible. We can get you started with same-day BAIID installation at a Smart Start Illinois service center near you.

After easy installation, our technicians will show you how to use your BAIID. That includes a training video and a hands-on demonstration. They’re experts who are familiar with local BAIID requirements, including testing, care and maintenance.

You’ll need to bring the correct documentation to your installation appointment, including:

• Two forms of ID (one must be a photo ID).
• Proof of residence.
• Proof of auto insurance.
• A driving permit, whether it’s a Monitoring Device Driving Permit (MDDP) or a Restricted Driving Permit (RDP).

Calibration, Maintenance & Customer Care

DUI requirements vary from state to state, but regular calibration and maintenance is typically part of the program. With the Illinois BAIID Program, Smart Start schedules an appointment for every 30 days. These appointments only last a few minutes so you can get on with your day in no time.

Our technicians test the BAIID, download its data and make sure it is working correctly. You can also ask any questions about your BAIID program.

You can always count on answers from knowledgeable, compassionate professionals in our Customer Care Center at (800) 831-3299. Someone is available 24/7/365.

Completing Your BAIID Program

When you’re nearing the completion of your program, check with your State Authority. Confirm the end date to ensure your compliance with your Illinois BAIID requirement. That includes any other fees or potential reinstatement issues.

Once that is confirmed, reach out to our Customer Care Center at (800) 831-3299. Our friendly service center agents will help you schedule a removal appointment. Your removal will only take a few minutes, and then you’re done.

It all starts with quality installation. Call Customer Care to schedule installation, or get a quote online. You can also register with the Client Portal to request an appointment or download our mobile app (Smart Start Client Portal) via the App Store or Google Play.
