For New Jersey residents who suffer from medical conditions that make exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet (UV) rays dangerous or uncomfortable, the state offers a legal pathway to receive a window tint exemption. This exemption allows individuals to install darker window tint on their vehicles than typically permitted under state law. The key document needed to obtain this exemption is the MVC Sunscreening 1 application, a form issued and accepted by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission.
Understanding how this form works and how to complete it properly is essential for legally obtaining a window tint exemption. In this blog, we’ll explain what the MVC Sunscreening 1 application is, who qualifies to submit it, and how ForeverTint simplifies the process of completing and submitting the form.
What Is the New Jersey MVC Sunscreening 1 Application?
The MVC Sunscreening 1 application is the official form issued by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission that allows medically eligible individuals to request a window tint exemption. This form is required by the state before any non-standard window tinting may be installed on your vehicle for medical reasons.
The document must be completed and signed by a licensed physician or optometrist, and it must include:
- The applicant’s name and contact information
- The name and license number of the medical professional
- A specific diagnosis or medical reason for the exemption
- The duration of the condition (temporary or permanent)
- A statement that window tint is medically necessary
Once completed, the form must be submitted to the New Jersey DMV, which will review the documentation and issue an official medical exemption certificate if the request is approved.
Why the Form Matters
New Jersey has strict rules when it comes to window tinting. Without an approved medical exemption, any tint darker than the legal limit on front windows or windshields can result in fines, failed inspections, or a requirement to remove the tint entirely. The MVC Sunscreening 1 application is the only legal way to receive an exemption and install darker tint for medical protection.
For drivers with medical conditions affected by sunlight, this form opens the door to safer, more comfortable driving—while staying fully compliant with New Jersey laws.
Who Qualifies to Submit the MVC Sunscreening 1 Application?
The state of New Jersey allows exemptions for a variety of conditions where sunlight or UV exposure creates health risks. These may include:
- Lupus and other autoimmune diseases
- Albinism or lack of pigmentation
- Melanoma or skin cancer history
- Chronic migraines caused by light exposure
- Severe photosensitivity or photophobia
- Rosacea, eczema, or other light-sensitive skin disorders
- Eye disorders requiring light reduction
While New Jersey does not publish a strict list of qualifying conditions, the general rule is this: If exposure to sunlight creates or worsens a medical issue, and a licensed physician believes that darker window tint would benefit the individual, the person may qualify for a window tint exemption.
ForeverTint connects customers directly with licensed physicians who evaluate their condition to determine eligibility.
Why Completing the MVC Sunscreening 1 Application Alone Can Be Frustrating
Many people attempt to complete the Sunscreening 1 form on their own by scheduling in-person doctor visits and trying to navigate the DMV’s complex instructions. Unfortunately, this often results in:
- Delays in scheduling medical consultations
- Errors on the form that result in DMV rejection
- Wasted time dealing with paperwork
- Missed details required by law enforcement
Additionally, some doctors are unfamiliar with the form and may not be willing to complete it, or may leave out required information.
That’s why using a specialized service like ForeverTint is the most efficient, legally secure way to complete the process.
