New Jersey: What Qualifies Me for a Car Window Tint Prescription?

For many New Jersey drivers, window tint isn’t just about style—it’s about safety, comfort, and health. If you suffer from a medical condition that makes sun exposure harmful or intolerable, you may qualify for a medical window tint exemption in New Jersey. However, the process and qualifications can be confusing, and that’s where ForeverTint comes in.

We’ve streamlined the process of applying for a medical window tint prescription and made it easier than ever for eligible New Jersey residents to get certified online—without the need for in-person doctor visits or dealing with confusing state paperwork.

What Does New Jersey Law Say About Window Tint Exemptions?

In the state of New Jersey, most vehicles are required to comply with standard window tint regulations, which limit how dark your tint can be, particularly on front side windows and windshields. However, exceptions are made for individuals with certain medical conditions.

The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) allows exemptions for individuals who can demonstrate a medical necessity for darker tints. To be legally exempt, you must submit a form called MVC Sunscreening 1, signed by a licensed physician or optometrist, citing the specific medical reason for requiring the exemption. This form is then submitted to the New Jersey DMV for final approval, and if accepted, you’ll receive official documentation certifying your exemption.

What Conditions Qualify for a Tint Prescription in New Jersey?

New Jersey law does not provide a specific list of qualifying conditions, but generally, exemptions are granted for conditions where sunlight or UV exposure can worsen symptoms or pose serious health risks. Common examples of qualifying conditions include:

  • Lupus (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)
  • Albinism
  • Photosensitivity Disorders
  • Melanoma or Other Skin Cancers
  • Rosacea or Other Skin Disorders Triggered by Sunlight
  • Chronic Migraines Triggered by Light Exposure
  • Severe Eye Conditions like photophobia or cataracts
  • Autoimmune Disorders that cause sun sensitivity 

If you believe you suffer from a condition that’s worsened by light exposure—even if it’s not listed above—you may still qualify. That’s why ForeverTint includes a consultation with a licensed physician to evaluate your individual situation.

It’s a common concern—what happens if you’re stopped by police for having dark tints, even with a medical exemption?

In New Jersey, if you’re pulled over, you must present a statement or prescription from a licensed physician or optometrist. This document must include:

  • The medical necessity for the exemption 
  • The condition being treated 
  • The duration of the exemption (temporary or permanent)
