Can You Get a Tint Exemption for Xeroderma Pigmentosum in Virginia?
Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic condition where the body cannot repair UV damage, making even minimal sun exposure extremely dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
Xeroderma Pigmentosum Symptoms That Qualify
The following symptoms of Xeroderma Pigmentosum are relevant to qualifying for a window tint medical exemption in Virginia:
- Extreme sensitivity to UV radiation
- Severe sunburns from minimal exposure
- Freckling in sun-exposed areas
- High risk of skin cancer from any UV
- Eye damage from light exposure
How Xeroderma Pigmentosum Qualifies You for a Tint Exemption
XP patients face life-threatening danger from any UV exposure. Window tint is not just helpful — it's medically essential for survival. Virginia grants tint exemptions for XP patients as a critical medical accommodation.
To qualify, you need to demonstrate that your Xeroderma Pigmentosum makes it medically necessary for you to have darker window tint than what Virginia law normally allows. Our licensed physicians review your existing documentation against state requirements — we do not diagnose. You must already have records from a primary care physician or eye care specialist confirming your condition.

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 Xeroderma Pigmentosum, you may be permitted to have darker window tint than these standard limits, providing the protection you need while staying legal.
