If you’re considering applying for a medical window tint exemption in California, one common concern is: What if I pay and don’t qualify? No one wants to waste time or money—especially when dealing with something as personal as your health and legal compliance.
At ForeverTint, we understand this concern. That’s why we’ve designed our process to be as customer-friendly and risk-free as possible. This article will explain what happens if you’re denied, what the refund policy is, why most customers do qualify, and how to make sure your application has the best possible chance of approval.
First, who decides if you qualify?
In California, a licensed physician or optometrist must evaluate your medical condition and determine if it meets the criteria for a window tint exemption. The state of California does not maintain a list of “approved conditions,” but common qualifiers include:
- Severe light sensitivity
- Autoimmune skin disorders
- Eye diseases worsened by UV exposure
- Medical conditions aggravated by sunlight
ForeverTint connects you directly with a licensed California physician who conducts a short phone consultation (usually 5–10 minutes). Based on that conversation, the doctor decides whether your condition justifies darker window tint under California law.
What if the doctor says no?
If the physician you’re matched with concludes that your medical condition does not qualify, your case is closed and you will receive a full refund.
That means your payment is completely risk-free. You will not be charged for a consultation that doesn’t result in an exemption. We believe in standing behind our service with fairness and transparency.
What’s the ForeverTint refund policy?
ForeverTint offers a 100% money-back guarantee if you do not qualify for a window tint exemption after your consultation with our licensed physician.
You don’t need to jump through hoops or argue with support. Once our doctor determines that an exemption cannot be issued based on your medical condition, the refund is processed. In most cases, you’ll see your money returned to your account within a few business days.
How common is it to be denied?
In practice, very few applicants are denied. Most customers who reach out to ForeverTint already experience symptoms or conditions that significantly impact their quality of life in bright sunlight. If you believe you have a reason for needing darker window tint, chances are you’ll qualify.
Some of the most common conditions that do qualify include:
- Lupus
- Photosensitivity dermatitis
- Melanoma and skin cancer
- Albinism
- Xeroderma pigmentosum
- Porphyria
- Severe burns or visible scarring
- Visual impairments made worse by glare
Even if your condition isn’t listed, ForeverTint encourages applicants to proceed if they genuinely believe their health or comfort is impacted by sunlight. The final decision always rests with a licensed medical provider, not our customer service team.
What happens during the appointment?
The appointment is a brief phone consultation, typically lasting 5 to 10 minutes. There’s no video call, and you don’t need to visit a doctor in person.
You’ll discuss:
- Your symptoms or diagnosis
- How sunlight or UV exposure affects you
- Any treatments or accommodations you’ve pursued
- Whether window tinting would improve your comfort or condition
After reviewing this information, the physician will determine if a California-compliant tint exemption can be issued.
If approved, you’ll receive a signed and dated prescription via email. This document serves as your legal proof of exemption and should be kept in your vehicle at all times. There is no need to submit it to the DMV or fill out state forms.
What if I’m not sure I qualify?
If you’re unsure whether your condition is eligible, here are some signs that you may be a strong candidate:
- You avoid driving during the day because of discomfort or glare
- You wear specialized UV-blocking glasses due to light sensitivity
- You’ve experienced migraines or medical episodes triggered by sunlight
- You’ve been advised by a dermatologist or eye doctor to minimize UV exposure
If any of these apply, it’s worth speaking with one of ForeverTint’s physicians. You have nothing to lose—and everything to gain.
How to give yourself the best chance at qualifying
To maximize the chance of a successful outcome, follow these steps:
- Be honest and detailed during your intake questionnaire.
- Clearly describe your symptoms and how sunlight affects your health.
- Include any past diagnoses or relevant history you’ve received from other healthcare providers.
- Be prepared to answer questions during the consultation about your daily experiences and why window tinting would help.
Remember, the physician wants to understand the impact your condition has on your daily life. It’s not about “proving” your case—it’s about clearly communicating why the accommodation is necessary.
What happens after you qualify?
If approved, ForeverTint delivers your signed prescription certificate via email, usually within 24–48 hours after your consultation. This document:
- Meets all California legal standards
- Is signed by a licensed medical professional
- Contains your identifying information
- Lists the medical justification for your tint
- Notes whether the exemption is permanent or temporary
You’re then free to have your windows tinted darker than the standard California limits, legally and confidently. Just keep the document in your vehicle and present it to law enforcement if needed.
