How to get a tint exemption in GA?

To get a window tint exemption in Georgia for medical reasons, you must follow the process outlined by the Georgia Department of Public Safety. Georgia allows darker than legal tint if you have a medical condition that requires protection from sunlight or bright light, such as photosensitivity, lupus, xeroderma pigmentosum, or other conditions. The process requires a written statement or affidavit from a licensed physician or optometrist in Georgia stating that you have a medical condition that necessitates darker tint and specifying the need for protection from sunlight. The physician must describe the condition and state that darker tint is medically necessary. You must then submit this documentation to the Georgia Department of Public Safety or keep it in your vehicle to present to law enforcement during a stop. Georgia does not issue a special sticker or card like some states, but you must have the physician's letter with you at all times while driving the exempted vehicle. The exemption typically allows darker tint on front side windows and windshield beyond the normal 32 percent limit, but it must still allow some visibility and cannot be completely opaque. Some sources recommend having the letter notarized. Without proper medical documentation, you cannot legally claim exemption, and you risk a ticket.
