The steps
- 1
Get written verification from a licensed physician. Idaho State Police describe the law as carrying two exemptions, of which this is the medical one.
- 2
Note that the statute is framed around a vehicle driven by or carrying the person, so the exemption travels with the person rather than being tied to a registration.
- 3
Keep the verification with the vehicle and produce it if you are stopped. There is no form and no application.
- 4
Budget for the ticket if you tint without it: both the State Police and the Transportation Department put the infraction at a fixed amount rather than a court's discretion.
