Can You Get a Tint Exemption for Melanoma in Virginia?
Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, directly linked to UV radiation exposure. Patients with a history of melanoma or at high risk need maximum UV protection, including darker window tint.
Melanoma Symptoms That Qualify
The following symptoms of Melanoma are relevant to qualifying for a window tint medical exemption in Virginia:
- History of melanoma or skin cancer
- Multiple atypical moles
- Fair skin with high UV sensitivity
- Family history of melanoma
- Previous severe sunburns
How Melanoma Qualifies You for a Tint Exemption
Melanoma patients and survivors need to minimize all UV exposure, including through vehicle windows. Standard auto glass blocks some UV but not enough for high-risk individuals. A Virginia tint exemption allows darker tint for critical UV protection.
To qualify, you need to demonstrate that your Melanoma makes it medically necessary for you to have darker window tint than what Virginia law normally allows. Our licensed physicians can evaluate your condition and issue the appropriate documentation.

Current Virginia Tint Laws
Without a medical exemption, Virginia law limits window tint to 50% VLT VLT on front side windows and 35% VLT VLT on back side windows. Violations carry fines starting at $110–$250 fine.
With an approved medical exemption for Melanoma, you may be permitted to have darker window tint than these standard limits, providing the protection you need while staying legal.
