Nevada drivers who need darker window tint than the law allows apply to the Highway Patrol with this three-sheet application. For a medical exemption, a Nevada-licensed physician gives the clinical diagnosis, a recommended visible light transmittance (VLT) percentage and whether the permit should last four years or indefinitely. If approved, the original comes back to the applicant and must stay in the vehicle.
The applicant completes Section 1 (personal details, up to two vehicles, reason) and signs; a currently licensed Nevada physician completes and signs Section 2. Section 3 is only for ambulance, hearse and law enforcement exemptions.

Window Tint Exemption Application
A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

Section 2 must be completed by a currently licensed State of Nevada physician, who describes the exact nature of the impairment and signs a declaration that tinting the listed vehicles is a medical necessity for the applicant's condition, adding a license number and contact details.
Section 2 asks for a recommended percentage of visible light transmittance for the applicant. The form states that the Department of Public Safety will not approve any window tint exemption below 20% VLT, and the approved percentage is written on the final page.
The physician recommends either a 4-year permit for a temporary condition or an indefinite permit for a permanent, stable one. DPS approves it for 4 years or indefinitely, and the approved letter, or a copy, must be carried in the vehicle at all times.
