The steps
- 1
Have your physician complete their section of the Tinted Window Exemption Application: the diagnosis, a certification that you need shielding from the sun in a vehicle, and the tint level they recommend below the legal minimum.
- 2
Have them state whether the condition is permanent. If it is not, they estimate how long it will last.
- 3
Think carefully about how dark to ask for. The form warns that an exemption below 20% may bring a daylight-driving-only restriction — asking for the darkest film can cost you the ability to drive at night.
- 4
Submit the application, which is prescribed by Service Oklahoma in conjunction with the Department of Public Safety.
- 5
On approval, Service Oklahoma issues an exemption letter. It is not transferable, applies only to the vehicle named on it, and must be shown to any law enforcement officer who asks.
