If you’re considering applying for a medical window tint exemption in New Jersey, one of the first questions you may have is whether you need to visit a doctor in person to get approved. The short answer is: No, you don’t.
Through ForeverTint, you can complete the entire process from home—without in-person doctor visits, video calls, or unnecessary delays. Our licensed physicians conduct the required consultation by phone, making it easier than ever to get legally approved for a window tint exemption in New Jersey.
In this blog, we’ll explain how the process works, why an in-person visit isn’t necessary, how ForeverTint ensures compliance with New Jersey law, and what you can expect after your consultation.
Understanding the Medical Window Tint Exemption in New Jersey
Before diving into the consultation process, it’s important to understand what a medical tint exemption is.
New Jersey has strict regulations regarding vehicle window tint, especially for front side windows and windshields, which cannot legally be tinted beyond certain levels unless a medical exemption has been approved by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC).
To qualify, you must:
-
Have a medical condition that requires additional protection from sunlight or UV exposure
-
Be evaluated and approved by a licensed physician or optometrist
-
Submit the MVC Sunscreening 1 form, completed and signed by your physician, to the MVC for official approval
Once approved, you’ll receive a certification that allows you to install darker window tint legally in New Jersey.
Traditional Process vs. ForeverTint
Traditionally, getting this kind of exemption involved:
-
Scheduling an appointment with your primary care provider or a specialist
-
Explaining the situation and asking them to complete the Sunscreening 1 form
-
Hoping they were familiar with the form and willing to fill it out
-
Picking up the form and submitting it to the MVC on your own
This process could be time-consuming and frustrating—especially if your physician was unfamiliar with the form or reluctant to complete it for liability reasons.
That’s why ForeverTint was created: to simplify the process and eliminate the need for in-person doctor visits entirely.
How ForeverTint’s Phone Consultation Works
With ForeverTint, everything is handled quickly and securely from home. Here’s what the process looks like:
- Purchase Your Exemption Package:
- Start by visiting forevertint.com/select-your-state, select New Jersey, and complete your purchase of the tint exemption package.
- Schedule a Phone Consultation:
- After your purchase, a member of our team will reach out within 24 hours to schedule your consultation. This is a brief 5–10 minute phone call with one of our licensed physicians.
- Discuss Your Condition:
- During the call, you’ll be asked about your medical history, any symptoms you experience from sunlight or UV exposure, and how these symptoms impact your ability to drive safely. This conversation helps the physician determine whether your condition meets New Jersey’s standards for a medical tint exemption.
- Receive Your Completed Form:
- If the physician determines that you qualify, they will complete and sign the official MVC Sunscreening 1 form. ForeverTint then sends the completed form to you, along with step-by-step instructions for submitting it to the New Jersey MVC.
Why In-Person Doctor Visits Aren’t Required
New Jersey law does not require that the medical evaluation for a window tint exemption be done in person. What matters is that the physician evaluating your condition is:
-
Licensed to practice in the United States
-
Capable of verifying your condition and medical need for window tint
-
Willing to sign the Sunscreening 1 form as required by the MVC
ForeverTint ensures that all of these conditions are met. Our physicians are fully licensed and familiar with the requirements of the New Jersey MVC, so you can feel confident that your form will be legally valid and properly completed.
What If You Don’t Qualify?
If, during your consultation, the physician determines that you do not meet the medical requirements for a window tint exemption in New Jersey, you will receive a full refund. There is no risk in checking your eligibility through ForeverTint.
Most individuals with legitimate conditions—such as lupus, albinism, skin cancer, photophobia, or chronic migraines triggered by sunlight—are approved quickly and without issue.
Benefits of Using ForeverTint’s Remote Process
Choosing ForeverTint’s phone-based consultation process over an in-person visit comes with several advantages:
-
Convenience – Complete everything from home, on your schedule

State-Compliant Documentation – We ensure the Sunscreening 1 form is filled out correctly and accepted by the MVC
What Happens After You Submit the Form?
Once you submit your completed and signed MVC Sunscreening 1 form to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, they will review your application. If approved, they will send you an official certification by mail.
You must keep this certification in your vehicle at all times. It serves as your legal proof of exemption and protects you from:
-
Traffic citations for tint violations
-
Failing vehicle inspections
-
Being ordered to remove your window tint
Only after receiving this certification should you proceed with having darker tint installed on your vehicle.
