Can You Get a Tint Exemption for Skin Cancer in Delaware?
All forms of skin cancer — including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma — are linked to UV exposure. Patients require enhanced UV protection including darker window tint during driving.
Skin Cancer Symptoms That Qualify
The following symptoms of Skin Cancer are relevant to qualifying for a window tint medical exemption in Delaware:
- History of any type of skin cancer
- Precancerous skin lesions (actinic keratosis)
- High UV sensitivity after treatment
- Skin that burns easily
- Immunosuppression increasing cancer risk
How Skin Cancer Qualifies You for a Tint Exemption
Skin cancer patients in Delaware need year-round UV protection during driving — the state's coastal communities along Rehoboth, Lewes, and Dewey Beach areas face especially intense summer UV, and standard auto glass allows UVA through in every season. Under Delaware Code Title 21, §4313, skin cancer patients qualify for a tint exemption providing critical daily UV protection.
To qualify, you need to demonstrate that your Skin Cancer 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 Skin Cancer, you may be permitted to have darker window tint than these standard limits, providing the protection you need while staying legal.
