What an ignition interlock costs in North Dakota
Verified · next review
North Dakota does not publish a price, so the honest answer is the national one: NHTSA puts installation at $70 to $90 and monitoring at about $70 a month, roughly $3 to $4 a day. A quote far above that is the provider's, not the state's.
Three charges make up the bill, not one: fitting the device, keeping it on the car, and taking it out at the end. Over a full term the monthly fee is the bulk of it, which is why a cheap installation on a long requirement costs more than a dearer one on a short.
North Dakota publishes no figure, so here is the national one
NHTSA puts installation at $70–$90 and monitoring at about $70 a month, roughly $3–$4 a day. Only 14 jurisdictions publish their own numbers or cap what a provider may charge; North Dakota is not among them, so a quote well above the national range is the provider’s decision rather than the state’s.
What decides the total in North Dakota
The monthly fee matters less than how long you pay it, and that is set by the requirement rather than the provider. In North Dakota a first offense carries a first offense carries a 91-day suspension below 0.18% BAC, or 180 days at 0.18% and above; the 360 days of 24/7 Sobriety Program participation start with a second offense within seven years The programme is run by North Dakota DOT and the Attorney General 24/7 Sobriety Program, through local law enforcement, which is also who decides whether a recorded event extends it.
That is the part worth budgeting for: events add months, and months are what the bill is made of. What counts as a violation → · All North Dakota rules and centers →

Cost questions in North Dakota
How much does an ignition interlock cost in North Dakota?
North Dakota does not publish a price, so the honest answer is the national one: NHTSA puts installation at $70 to $90 and monitoring at about $70 a month, roughly $3 to $4 a day. A quote far above that is the provider's, not the state's.
Does North Dakota cap what a provider can charge?
No. North Dakota does not publish provider prices at all, so the quote is the price. That is the argument for getting two of them: nothing constrains what a provider asks, and in states without a cap the same brand quotes differently in different cities.
What else does North Dakota charge on top of the device?
We have no separate state fee schedule on file for North Dakota. Reinstatement and licensing charges usually sit outside the interlock program itself — check with North Dakota DOT and the Attorney General 24/7 Sobriety Program, through local law enforcement before you budget.
Where can I have an interlock fitted in North Dakota?
We index 9 certified installation points across 7 North Dakota cities. Book with a provider the state approves rather than the nearest pin on the map: time on an unapproved device does not count toward the term.
