Frequently Asked Questions
Who can apply for a window tinting exemption in New York?
Individuals with specific medical conditions that make them highly sensitive to sunlight or UV exposure can apply for a window tinting exemption. Conditions include lupus, albinism, eczema, photophobia, and more.
Can I apply for the exemption if I have one qualifying condition?
Yes. You only need one qualifying condition to be eligible for the window tint exemption.
Can I get a ticket for tinted windows even with the exemption?
Having a medical exemption for darker window tint does not automatically prevent you from receiving a ticket. Law enforcement officers can still issue tickets at their discretion. However, if you present your medical documents in court, your ticket can often be dismissed.
What percentage of tint is allowed under the exemption?
The exemption allows you to tint your windows darker than the standard legal limits. However, the exact percentage may vary based on your medical needs and state guidelines.
Will my tint exemption be recognized in other states?
Since window tinting laws vary from state to state, your exemption may not be recognized outside of New York. It’s essential to check with other states if you plan to travel.
How do I apply for the exemption through Well Revolution?
Start your chat visit with a licensed provider, provide your medical history, and if you qualify, your provider will email you the completed exemption form to submit to the DMV.
