Virginia drivers whose medical condition requires additional window sun-shading apply to DMV with this form, which also adds vehicles to an existing authorization. A physician, nurse practitioner, ophthalmologist, optometrist or physician assistant certifies that sun-shading is necessary for the patient's health and describes the condition. Once processed, DMV issues a registration card with a sun-shading notation.
The vehicle owner completes the owner, vehicle and certification sections; the medical provider completes and signs the Medical Provider Certification, which is needed for new applications only.

Sun-Shading Medical Authorization 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.

A physician, nurse practitioner, ophthalmologist, optometrist or physician assistant, who checks the matching box, gives license number and contact details, answers whether sun-shading is necessary for the patient's health based on examination, describes the condition and signs under penalty of perjury.
No. The Medical Provider Certification is required for new applications only. A subsequent application, which adds vehicles to an existing sun-shading medical authorization, does not need a new certification from the provider.
Until the vehicle is sold or transferred to another person or the medical condition no longer exists, whichever comes first. At that point the sun-shading must be removed from the vehicle.
