How can you legally be forced to install an interlock ignition if you dont have a car and got a DUI from non-resident state?

If you don't need a car, then you don't need a license. Intelligent thing to do would be to skip the drama and get a U.S. passport. A bit better than an enhanced license. Additionally If you are moving to Massachusetts then you will need to renew a license there if you get one in Michigan now. In most states it's required within six months of obtaining residency (technically). If it's me I get a standard state ID from Michigan / Massachusetts (not a drivers license) and also obtain my passport. Best of Luck.

This sounds like an issue that you need to get information about from an attorney in Washington State. You will have to comply with Washington's requirements to renew your Michigan license, since you apparently are listed in the National Driver Registry as having a problem in Washington. There are states (I don't know if Washington is one of them) that will waive the interlock requirement in certain circumstances. That's why you need to talk with a Washington lawyer, to find out if that is a possibility. Having a car with an interlock that is never driven will probably not satisfy Washington. If you don't ever intend to have a driver's license, then Mr. Jones' suggestion of a passport instead of an enhanced license makes sense. Besides, if you are moving to Boston, you would technically no longer be eligible for a Michigan license anyway. I also don't know Massachusetts' law, but it is possible that you could get a license there, despite the Washington problem. (I doubt it, but a call to a Massachusetts attorney would be worth it, to find out.) Sincerely, Frank B. Ford

Mr Jones offers a most practical set of solutions to your immediate situation. However, if you foresee, someday, being able to legally drive then you will have to contact a Washington attorney who specializes in drivers license restoration to see if your self imposed two year period of abstinence from driving may stand in lieu of having to install an interlock on a car you have no need to drive. Which, by the way has to be driven because a functioning interlock must be operating and periodically testing you in order to satisfy the requirement or, you test regularly for alcohol & produce testing records to establish you are alcohol free for a 2 yr. period. Good luck regardless of the decision you make.

My first thoughts were also to contact a Washington attorney and also get a passport instead of a license.
