What Delaware Law Requires on a Medical Tint Certificate

Delaware Code Title 21, §4313 authorizes medical exemptions from standard tint requirements, but the exemption is only enforceable if the physician's certification is properly documented. A certificate that is missing key information may not protect you during a traffic stop, even if it is legitimately issued by a Delaware-licensed physician.

Required Elements of a Valid DE Tint Certificate

  • Patient's full legal name (matching driver's license)
  • Patient's date of birth
  • Physician's full name and Delaware medical license number
  • Physician's practice address and phone number
  • Statement of medical necessity (condition name and why tint is needed)
  • Date of certification
  • Physician's original signature
  • Vehicle information (make, model, year, VIN or plate number) — recommended

Carrying the Certificate in Your Vehicle

Delaware law requires the certificate to be available for inspection upon request by a law enforcement officer. Best practices:

  • Keep a printed copy in the glove compartment at all times
  • Also save a digital copy on your phone as backup
  • Inform the officer upfront during any tint-related traffic stop — present the certificate before they ask
  • Keep the document legible — replace worn or faded copies immediately
