If you have a prior per se revocation in Colorado, the Department of Revenue will attempt to revoke your driver’s license for a period of one year. 170, then the interlock period is for a mandatory two year period following reinstatement after serving the 1 month of no driving.
Once the DMV gets notice from the interlock provider that you have met these criteria, they send you notice and will allow you to remove the device early. Upon getting your license reinstated with interlock, you need to have no failures or tampering issues the first four months. There is also a provision within the statute that allows you to remove the device early if you qualify. An ignition interlock device requires a driver to blow into the device before starting the car and also while driving. 170, a driver can apply for early reinstatement by installing an interlock device in the driver’s car for 8 months after not driving for 1 month. Under Colorado law, on a first offense below. 08, then the Department of Revenue will attempt to revoke your driving privileges for 9 months.
If this DUI is your first or if you have not had a prior administrative revocation in Colorado and your BAC comes back at or above. If you possess an out of state driver’s license, please see the following sub-section entitled “Out of State Licenses”. The Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles, can only suspend or revoke your Colorado driver’s license or driving privileges in Colorado. This can take from as little as three weeks to ten or more weeks. In DUI cases involving blood tests, the Department needs to wait for the blood tests to be reported to them from the arresting agency, before they initiate the revocation proceedings. A DUI involving a blood test changes the procedure and time frames, but the penalty remains the same. Immediately after an arrest for DUI with a breath test above the per se limit or a refusal to take a test, the Colorado Department of Revenue will start administrative proceedings against you to revoke your Colorado driving privileges. This is separate from the criminal case in which the District Attorney’s Office is attempting to obtain a conviction, monetary fines, probation, and jail time.
