Sun-screening for medical reasons:
Due to certain medical conditions, some drivers may need to have the windows of their vehicles tinted or "sun-screened" in a way that is not legal for other drivers. This page explains how to certify your need for sun-screening and get a "medical exemption card" from MVC for a specific vehicle.
- First you need a copy of Form MR-15: Request for Medical Exemption to Apply Vehicle Sun-screening [pdf]. You may also request this form by phone at (856) 853-4118.
- A licensed physician must answer the questions on the form and sign it
- Mail completed forms to NJ Motor Vehicle Commission, West Deptford Regional Service Center, 215 Crown Point Road, Suite 100, West Deptford, NJ 08086
- Within 3-6 weeks, MVC will mail you a "medical exemption card" that authorizes you to have specially sun-screened windows. The card is only valid for one driver and one vehicle, both of which are specified on the card
- Sun-screening businesses are required to check your "medical exemption card" before applying sun-screening that is not permitted under ordinary circumstances. All window tints must meet New Jersey guidelines to pass inspection.
