If you are looking into a Nevada Window Tint Exemption Online, the key question is what an online service can and cannot do. ForeverTint can help with one part of the process: the physician certification. An independent licensed physician reviews your medical history and, if you qualify, completes and signs the physician section of the Nevada Department of Public Safety’s Window Tint Exemption Application. The exemption itself is approved only by the Nevada Highway Patrol, Department of Public Safety.
Nevada law (NRS 484D.440) requires front side windows to be nonreflective and let in at least 35% of light, with a 7% tolerance. The statute lets the Director provide exemptions by regulation, and the Department of Public Safety approves medical exemptions through its Window Tint Exemption Application. Understanding how the physician certification fits into that application helps you know exactly what you are buying.
What ForeverTint Provides for a Nevada Exemption
ForeverTint connects you with an independent licensed physician who reviews your medical history by chart review or, occasionally, a brief phone call. The physician decides whether darker window tint is a medical necessity for you. If it is, the physician completes and signs the physician section of the Window Tint Exemption Application, including your diagnosis, the recommended tint percentage, and whether your condition is temporary or permanent.
The signed certification is emailed to you. If the physician determines you do not qualify, you receive a full refund.
What Only the Department of Public Safety Can Do
A physician’s certification is not an exemption. After the physician section is complete, you fill in your own section, list each vehicle, sign the statement that you are the primary driver, and send the application to the Nevada Highway Patrol, Department of Public Safety, in Carson City. The Department decides whether to approve it. If it does, the original is returned to you.
- Darkness: the application form states that no window tint exemption less than 20% VLT will be approved.
- Duration: an approved exemption lasts 4 years for a temporary condition or indefinitely for a permanent, stable condition.
- Vehicles: the exemption covers only the vehicles listed and is not transferable if a vehicle is sold.
- Carry rule: the approved document, or a copy, must be carried in the vehicle at all times.
Does an Online Physician Review Work for the Nevada Application?
The Department’s application asks the physician for a clinical diagnosis, a recommended tint percentage, and whether the condition is temporary or permanent. It does not ask whether the review took place in an office or remotely. What matters is that a licensed physician reviews your medical history and completes the physician section accurately. ForeverTint does not decide your eligibility and does not submit the application for you.

Medical Conditions a Physician May Consider
Nevada law does not list specific conditions. Conditions a physician may consider include:
- Lupus
- Porphyria
- Xeroderma pigmentosum
- Albinism
- Photosensitivity dermatitis
- Melanoma and other skin cancers
- Light-sensitive eye conditions
Every applicant is reviewed individually. A diagnosis by itself does not qualify you; the physician decides whether darker tint is a medical necessity for your condition.
Common Misunderstandings
- Buying a physician review is not the same as having an exemption. Only the Department of Public Safety approves exemptions.
- An approved exemption does not allow any darkness. The form states no exemption below 20% VLT will be approved.
- Without an approved exemption, front side tint darker than Nevada’s limit can lead to a citation, even if you have a qualifying condition.
