Ignition Interlock Employer Exemption

  • Have an Ignition Interlock installed on your personal vehicle.
  • Complete the employee section of the form.
  • Have your employer complete their portion of the form.
  • Send a copy of the completed form to the Department of License
  • You need to carry a copy of the form when you are driving the company vehicle.

You can find the Employer Declaration for the Exemption for the Ignition Interlock requirement at dol.wa.gov or you may Click Here to follow the link to the Department of License form.

Important Details To Be Aware Of.

The Exemption will only apply to a vehicle that your employer has directed you to drive. It will not apply to any vehicles that you are driving for your personal commute to and from work.

Feel free to call us with any questions or to ask for help to complete the form.

We know that this can be a life changing event but it isn’t the end of the world.

Gotten many tickets dropped or the charge reduced to a non moving violation. Yes it would be great if they all could be dropped but at the end of the day my insurance is still affordable. Anyone leaving bad reviews about the Merrill's not getting a charge totally dismissed did not listen or read well enough when entering the contact as they make it very clear that both are a possibility.

They were very straight forward and easy to communicate with. I had a pending deferral speeding ticket which i did my community service hours for and did the 4 hour arive at 25 class to get dismissed. But while I was doing that, I got a second speeding ticket and I was worried it will void my deferred ticket. But they got it dismissed. Thank you very much.

He’s like Santa for speeding tickets. Anytime someone says they got a ticket, I always tell them “I got a guy”

My son got his first speeding ticket. We called these guys and sent them a photo of the ticket. They took care of everything and got the ticket dismissed. Lucky kid. Hope he learned his lesson...

I have gone through Merrill Law 3 times now for speeding violations and expired tabs and they are efficient and super easy to work with every time. Reece is fantastic and communicative. I highly recommend them as they have saved me a lot of money in the end.

Going to Merrill Law was one of the best decisions I could have made. From start to finish, their team was kind, professional, helpful, and excellent at communicating throughout the process. I truly appreciated their support and would highly recommend Merrill Law to anyone in need of their services.

Huge thank you to Reece Merrill for helping me resolve an issue with the Department of licensing. He was so quick to help me fix what seemed to be an overlook on the DOL’s part. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs legal help big or small.

Great firm to work with. Took care of all the paperwork and trial appearance. One phone call, a couple of emails and send in the ticket to the court. Pay 200.00 fee. Merrill got the ticket dismissed. Definitely worth the cost! Highly recommend them.
