Can You Get a Tint Exemption for Psoriasis in Delaware?
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition that can be triggered or worsened by UV exposure in some patients. Those with photosensitive psoriasis benefit from darker window tint.
Psoriasis Symptoms That Qualify
The following symptoms of Psoriasis are relevant to qualifying for a window tint medical exemption in Delaware:
- Red, scaly patches on skin
- Itching and burning
- Cracked, bleeding skin
- Flare-ups from sun exposure
- Joint pain (psoriatic arthritis)
How Psoriasis Qualifies You for a Tint Exemption
While some psoriasis types benefit from controlled UV, photosensitive psoriasis worsens with Delaware's summer sun exposure through vehicle windows. Winter's dry heated interiors also irritate and crack psoriatic skin. Under Delaware Code Title 21, §4313, patients with documented photosensitive psoriasis qualify for darker tint to manage UV-triggered flares during driving.
To qualify, you need to demonstrate that your Psoriasis makes it medically necessary for you to have darker window tint than what Delaware law normally allows. Our licensed physicians review your existing documentation against state requirements — we do not diagnose. You must already have records from a primary care physician or eye care specialist confirming your condition.

Current Delaware Tint Laws
Without a medical exemption, Delaware law limits window tint to 70% VLT VLT on front side windows and 70% VLT VLT on back side windows. Violations carry fines starting at $57.50 fine.
With an approved medical exemption for Psoriasis, you may be permitted to have darker window tint than these standard limits, providing the protection you need while staying legal.
