For residents of New Jersey, protecting oneself from the harmful effects of the sun can be essential due to various medical conditions. While most states have strict laws regulating the amount of tint that can be applied to vehicle windows, the state of New Jersey provides a path for individuals with certain medical conditions to legally apply darker window tints. This is done through the Medical Window Tint Exemption process. If you suffer from a medical condition that necessitates this type of protection, you can apply for an exemption and legally equip your vehicle with darker tint. The process, however, involves specific steps that must be followed according to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) and state law.
Fortunately, ForeverTint makes this process simple, streamlined, and accessible to all who qualify.
Understanding the Legal Requirements in New Jersey
In New Jersey, window tinting is heavily regulated, with most vehicles being allowed only a minimal amount of tint on certain windows. However, the state recognizes that some medical conditions require individuals to be shielded from sunlight more than the general population. Conditions such as lupus, photosensitivity, and skin cancer, among others, might qualify individuals for an exemption. This allows them to apply darker tints to protect their health.
The New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles requires individuals seeking a window tint exemption to complete a formal application process, which includes submitting Form MVC Sunscreening 1. This form must be signed by a licensed physician, who must specify the medical condition that justifies the need for darker window tints, as well as provide details on the duration of the exemption (temporary or permanent).
The ForeverTint Solution for Medical Tint Exemptions
At ForeverTint, we understand that navigating the paperwork and ensuring compliance with state requirements can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer a simple, easy-to-follow process to help you apply for and get approved for a medical tint exemption in New Jersey. With us, you don’t have to worry about the details – we handle them for you.
Here’s how the process works:
Step 1: Initial Steps
The first step is to select New Jersey as your state of residence on our website, ForeverTint. Since each state has different window tint exemption laws, it’s crucial to ensure you are following the right process based on your state’s specific regulations. Our system will guide you through selecting New Jersey as your location, ensuring the exemption process is in line with New Jersey’s legal standards.
Step 2: Pre-Qualification
Next, you will fill out a brief pre-qualification form. This step allows us to determine if you meet the basic requirements for a medical exemption. Individuals suffering from conditions like severe sun sensitivity or skin-related medical issues are often pre-qualified, as these conditions align with the recognized exemptions in New Jersey. If you meet the initial criteria, you will be pre-approved to schedule a consultation with one of our licensed physicians.
Step 3: Consultation
The consultation process at ForeverTint is designed to be as convenient and straightforward as possible. There are no in-person or video meetings required. Instead, you will schedule a brief 5-10 minute phone consultation with one of our licensed physicians. During this conversation, you will discuss your medical condition and its impact on your need for window tinting. Our physicians are experienced in evaluating these types of cases and will determine whether you qualify for the exemption.
Step 4: Qualification
Once your consultation is complete, our licensed physician will make a determination based on the information provided. In New Jersey, the Department of Public Safety recognizes certain medical conditions that necessitate the need for darker window tints. Most customers are surprised to find that they qualify, even if they hadn’t initially thought their condition would meet the criteria. At ForeverTint, we pride ourselves on helping individuals understand how their medical needs can be supported by window tint exemptions.
Step 5: Certification
Once you’re approved, we provide you with the official documentation (Form MVC Sunscreenshing 1) signed by our physician approving you for a Medical Exemption for window tint in New Jersey.
What to Do If You’re Pulled Over
If you are stopped by law enforcement in New Jersey, and your vehicle has darker window tint, you must provide documentation to prove your exemption. This documentation typically includes a statement or prescription from a licensed physician or optometrist. The documentation must specify:
- The medical necessity for darker window tint.
- The specific condition that qualifies you for this exemption.
- The duration of the exemption (whether temporary or permanent).
ForeverTint ensures that all of this required information is clearly stated on your Window Tint Exemption Certificate. This means you won’t have to worry about compliance issues – simply keep your certificate in your vehicle, and you’ll be prepared for any law enforcement check.
