What is the procedure?

The driver sends his/her application to the County Administrative Board along with:

  • a medical certificate issued by a specified doctor
  • a declaration of intention in which the driver agrees to follow the specific terms and conditions in the programme
  • a contract drawn up between the driver and the alcolock supplier
  • an application fee (SEK 1 000)

After the County Administrative Board has formally approved the use of an alcolock, the driver must contact an alcolock supplier to have the device installed. The Swedish Transport Agency then issues a driving licence with a special condition code (code 105).

Participation fee

A participation fee of SEK 5 300 shall be paid to the County Administrative Board. Half of this is due within two months and the remainder within 14 months of the decision. The Swedish Transport Agencyb will then issue a driving licence with a special condition code. A new medical examination must be conducted no later than four weeks after receipt of this and subsequently every third month during the entire programme period. The alcolock itself must be inspected every other month. The information in the alcolock memory is transferred to the County Administrative Board in connection with this inspection.

False manipulation leads to exclusion

As a rule, false manipulation of the alcolock and trying to start the car after alcohol consumption results in exclusion from the programme. Anyone renting an alcolock is personally responsible for everything that is recorded in its memory.

N.B. Prior to exhaling into the device, the driver must rinse his/her mouth with water to avoid an incorrect reading.

What happens if anyone wants to quit or is excluded from the programme?

In this event, the County Administrative Board resumes the process of withdrawing the driving licence and decides on the length of the driving prohibition period. No credit will then be given for the time when the conditional driving licence was valid. Neither will there be any refund of the fee paid.
