How dark could you legally go?

Visible Light Transmission

VLT is how much light passes through your window. Lower number = darker glass.

35% VLT: legal without exemption in most states

⛔ 35%: typical limit without exemption✓ With exemption: as dark as your doctor certifies

Windows at 35% VLT

Example figures. Exact limits vary by state. Your state page and certificate include what applies to you.

Darker tint is medical equipment for light-sensitive drivers

Real UV protection

Quality window film blocks up to 99% of UVA/UVB, critical for lupus, melanoma history, and photosensitive skin.

Glare & migraine relief

Reduced brightness and glare mean fewer sunlight-triggered migraines and less photophobia while you drive.

Frequently asked questions

Is a medical tint exemption actually legal?

Yes. Most states' vehicle codes include a medical exemption pathway that allows qualifying drivers to use darker tint than the standard limits. Your certificate documents that a licensed physician evaluated your condition.

How long does the whole process take?

The questionnaire takes about 5 minutes. A licensed doctor typically completes your evaluation within 24–48 hours, and your certificate is emailed the moment it's approved.

Do I need to visit a doctor's office?

No. Everything is online. A physician licensed in your state reviews your questionnaire remotely and issues your certificate electronically.

What conditions qualify?

Common qualifying conditions include lupus, photosensitivity, melanoma or skin-cancer history, xeroderma pigmentosum, albinism, porphyria, sunlight-triggered migraines, and light-sensitive eye conditions. Others are evaluated case by case.

What do I do with the certificate?

Print it and keep it in your vehicle at all times. If your state also requires a DMV form or sticker, we include instructions for exactly what to file and where.

How do I know this is legitimate?

Every evaluation is performed by a real, U.S.-licensed physician, and your certificate carries their printed name, signature, and license number, verifiable with your state medical board. If the physician can't approve you, you're refunded in full.

What happens if I get pulled over?

Hand the officer your printed certificate along with your license. It states the medical authorization, the tint level approved, and the physician's license number. Keep it in your glovebox so it's always with the vehicle.

Do all states allow medical exemptions?

Most do. A small number don't. Pick your state and we'll tell you exactly how it works where you live. If your state doesn't offer an exemption, we tell you honestly before you ever pay.

Tint law is state law. Pick yours to see exactly how the exemption process works where you live.

Your health shouldn't cost you a ticket.
