How to Get a Window Tint Medical Exemption in Delaware

You need a qualifying medical condition with existing documentation from a primary care physician, dermatologist, ophthalmologist, or other specialist. Some clinical practices may not offer this paperwork, so availability should be confirmed directly with the treating practice. That's the gap our service fills.

conditions that may be relevant include:

Delaware has above-average melanoma rates and a strong veteran community at Dover Air Force Base — both populations frequently qualify.

Our application collects your information and existing medical documentation for an independent, appropriately licensed clinician to review against Delaware's requirements under Title 21, §4313. You'll provide:

• Your name, email, and phone number
• State of residence (must be Delaware)
• Your primary medical condition
• How the condition affects your sensitivity to light or UV
• Your medical documentation from your physician or specialist

After you submit your application, documentation, and payment of $275, an independent, appropriately licensed clinician reviews your medical records against the exemption criteria under Title 21, §4313. independent clinicians provide a professional consultation on your existing documentation — we do not diagnose. If your documentation meets Delaware's requirements, the physician certifies your exemption.

Review timing varies by case, document completeness, clinician availability, and any separate agency steps.

Once approved, you receive documentation, if independently issued after review via email. This document is your legal authorization to have darker window tint under Title 21, §4313. Current agency requirements should be confirmed

With your exemption in hand, take your vehicle to a professional tint installer in Wilmington, Dover, Newark, or Rehoboth Beach. Show them your exemption certificate so they know you're legally authorized. We recommend ceramic tintfor Delaware — it blocks 99% of UV (especially important along the coast) and performs well in humidity.

What If I Get Pulled Over?

Tint is a primary offense in Delaware — DSP, Wilmington PD, and local agencies can stop you solely for having visible tint, especially on I-95, Route 1, US-13, and near the Delaware Memorial Bridge. Calmly present your medical exemption certificate. Under Title 21, §4313, documentation may be considered by a court or agency, but no outcome is guaranteed.

If you receive a citation despite having an exemption, present the documentation in court to ask the court to consider the documentation; resolution is not guaranteed. This is why keeping the certificate in your vehicle at all times is critical.
