Arizona ADOT publishes application 40-1511 for its medical window tint exemption.

Use ADOT’s linked application and Medical Review Program instructions. A new request needs medical certification; adding vehicles to an existing exemption does not require another medical-professional signature.

Before you rely on this: The form is marked R05/26 and lists MD, DO, NMD, or ophthalmologist certifiers. The statute requires a physician licensed under Arizona Title 32, chapter 13, 14, or 17. It covers an owned vehicle or one in which the person is a habitual passenger. The form excludes windshield coverage below the AS-1 line. An application is not an issued exemption.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• Arizona application 40-1511 (PDF) ↗R05/26 verified from document contents and rendered page.
• Arizona ADOT: exemption application ↗Agency link followed and one-page PDF read; actual revision differs from an older search excerpt.
• Arizona Revised Statutes 28-959.01(G) ↗Current statutory practitioner and vehicle scope read directly.

California has distinct documentation provisions; no general DMV dark-tint application is verified here.

Read the state guide and Vehicle Code provisions before discussing documentation with your clinician. A dermatologist’s certificate for qualifying clear UV material differs from a physician/optometrist document for removable front-side screening devices.

Before you rely on this: Neither provision is a blanket permission for dark permanent film. The current-code check is recorded in the state guide; this directory independently re-read the 2017 chaptered medical provision. A fresh current-code retrieval was blocked, so consult the current code and CHP for confirmation.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• California Vehicle Code 26708 ↗State guide records a full current-code review on 2026-10-14; independent directory retrieval returned 403.
• California AB 1303: chaptered medical provision ↗Historical 2017 enactment independently read; subdivisions (b)(10) and (e) distinguish the documentation paths. Not a current consolidated code.

Maryland’s posted medical certification and current law use different practitioner wording.

Confirm acceptable certification with Maryland State Police’s Automotive Safety Enforcement Division before relying on the posted paperwork.

Before you rely on this: The linked ASED 23-04B (10-25) includes Maryland-licensed physicians or optometrists; Transportation Article 22-406(i)(4) and COMAR’s medical provision specify a physician licensed in Maryland. This practitioner difference remains unresolved. The form does include a permanent-exemption option, consistent with the statute’s indefinite duration for a physician-determined permanent condition. No direct form shortcut is provided.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• Maryland State Police: medical-tint resource ↗Tint section links ASED 23-04B (10-25); complete PDF text and rendered page reviewed.
• Maryland Transportation Article 22-406 ↗Current subsection (i)(4) read directly, including permanent-condition exception.
• Maryland COMAR: motor vehicles ↗Medical provision confirms physician wording; inspection/SERO cases are referred to ASED.

Massachusetts RMV provides a tinted-glass waiver route, but this review could not verify the complete current application.

Use the RMV instructions or contact Medical Affairs for the current application and requirements before preparing a request.

Before you rely on this: The RMV page describes a private-passenger-vehicle process using physician certification and an original application. The statute requires a physician licensed in Massachusetts. Direct page and PDF retrieval returned 403; search excerpts do not establish the document revision or complete instructions. No verified form-download shortcut is provided.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• Massachusetts RMV: tinted-glass waiver ↗Official search-index text read; direct retrieval blocked by 403. Full application revision unverified.
• Massachusetts General Laws chapter 90, section 9D ↗Medical exemption paragraph (8) read directly; written application and Massachusetts-licensed physician attestation.

Mississippi’s posted waiver paperwork has a medical-certifier mismatch. Confirm the accepted form before using it.

Contact the county tax collector handling your vehicle’s registration for current acceptable paperwork. The DPS page identifies the county tax collector as the submission route.

Before you rely on this: The state guide records that SB 2453 added Mississippi-licensed optometrists effective July 1, 2026. The DPS page and its currently linked affidavit, whose footer reads Revised 08/28/2026, still require a physician. Updated paperwork that expressly accommodates optometrists was not verified. Confirm the accepted form with the county tax collector; this directory provides no form-download shortcut.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• Mississippi DPS: tint waiver process ↗Agency page and its linked PDF read directly on 2026-10-14. The PDF footer reads MS DPS Revised 08/28/2026, although its filename says rev 10 28 2026. Both page and affidavit still use physician-only wording; the optometrist mismatch remains unresolved.
• Mississippi Legislature: 2026 enacted-bills summary ↗Enactment and effective date recorded in the existing state-guide source review; printed page 214. Fresh directory retrieval returned 502; no independent new confirmation claimed.

Nevada’s DMV forms directory links the Highway Patrol’s DO-200 exemption application.

For a medical request, complete the applicant section and have your treating physician, currently licensed in Nevada, complete Section 2. Submit through the Highway Patrol route stated in the packet. Carry the approved document or its copy in the vehicle.

Before you rely on this: The applicant must attest to being each listed vehicle’s primary driver. The packet includes separate nonmedical categories and agency approval fields; completing it does not grant an exemption. Its footer has no dated revision. The regulation excludes certain vehicles rated at least 10,000 pounds and subject to federal glazing requirements. Follow the agency’s tint and duration limits.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• Nevada DO-200 application (PDF) ↗All three pages read through official web retrieval. Footer identifies DO-200 with (-), without a dated revision; not inferred from metadata.
• Nevada DMV: forms directory ↗Window Tinting entry directly links DO-200.
• Nevada Administrative Code 484D.280–290 ↗Read filing route, treating-physician and primary-driver statements, and heavy-vehicle exclusion.

New York DMV publishes a specific medical exemption application: MV-80W.

Open the DMV instructions and current form. The applicant completes page 1; a New York State-licensed physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner completes page 2. The examination must be within 60 days of submission. Include the medical provider’s NYS professional-license copy and the NYS vehicle-registration copy, as directed by the form.

Before you rely on this: The linked form is marked 6/24. It covers the driver or a regular, habitual passenger and requires a qualifying condition for which the listed personal protective measures do not provide adequate protection. An application or practitioner statement is not an issued exemption; DMV determines the request.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• New York MV-80W application (PDF) ↗Both pages read directly; revision MV-80W (6/24), linked by the current DMV tinted-windows page.
• New York DMV: tinted windows ↗Official page links MV-80W for medical exemption requests; read directly.

North Carolina’s Medical Review Program provides a tinted-window waiver application.

Use the DMV’s current form. The applicant completes Sections 1–4 and a physician completes Section 5. Follow the packet’s Medical Review Program submission instructions.

Before you rely on this: The official packet is revised 03/2026. A completed application is not a permit. This directory does not interpret the packet’s tint percentages or determine which windows an eventual permit covers.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• North Carolina tinted-window waiver (PDF) ↗All three pages read directly via the official forms directory; revision 03/2026.
• North Carolina DMV: driver license forms ↗Medical evaluation program lists Application Form for Tinted Window Waiver; link followed and document read.

PennDOT directs medical-exemption applicants to its Medical Unit; the verified route is for colorless UV-filtering material.

Read PennDOT’s Vehicle Window Tint fact sheet and contact its Medical Unit at (717) 787-9662 for the application and current submission instructions.

Before you rely on this: The fact sheet is dated April 2025. The regulation requires a department-issued certificate and medical certification from a licensed physician or optometrist. It covers an affected owner or a qualifying household member who normally drives or is driven in the vehicle. Carry the issued certificate in the vehicle. No current publicly linked application was verified; this is not a general dark-tint application.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• PennDOT: Vehicle Window Tint fact sheet ↗April 2025 verified from contents; followed from current vehicle-inspection resource page.
• PennDOT Publication 45: Subchapter O ↗Both pages read; section 175.265 limits medical certificates to colorless material and specifies documents.
• Pennsylvania Vehicle Code 4524 ↗Current medical certification and household scope read directly; no determination of individual eligibility.

Texas uses a signed medical statement, not a DPS certificate application.

Read the DPS medical-exception instructions and discuss the required statement with a licensed physician or optometrist. Keep the signed statement in the vehicle.

Before you rely on this: DPS stopped issuing Window Tint Exemption Certificates and accepting applications on January 1, 2019. Do not use a legacy certificate application. The linked page also contains older inspection language; this listing covers the medical-documentation route only.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• Texas DPS: medical tint exception ↗Medical Tint Exception section read directly on the review date; certificate program ended 2019-01-01.

Virginia DMV’s posted provider list is broader than the wording in its sun-shading statute.

Contact DMV Data Integrity through the official sun-shading instructions to confirm acceptable certification. Obtain DMV authorization before installing medical sun-shading.

Before you rely on this: MED-20 is marked 11/10/2021. It and the agency page include nurse practitioners and physician assistants, while Code 46.2-1053 names licensed physicians or optometrists. This review did not resolve that difference. Approved authorization is reflected on the vehicle registration; it ends when the vehicle is sold or transferred to another person, or the condition ends, whichever occurs first. No direct form shortcut is provided.

Resource review: 2026-10-14 (UTC). Any missing or conflicting information is noted below.

• Virginia DMV: sun-shading authorization ↗Current page and its linked one-page MED-20 read directly; provider list compared with statute.
• Virginia Code 46.2-1053 ↗Current medical authorization provision read directly. Practitioner discrepancy remains unresolved.
