Michigan Tint Exemption Form — Download & Instructions

Learn how to obtain, fill out, and submit the Michigan window tint medical exemption form — or skip the paperwork entirely with our online process.

Michigan Has No State-Issued Tint Exemption Form

Unlike some states, Michigan does not have a standardized state-issued form from the Secretary of State (SOS) for tint exemptions. Under MCL §257.709(3), the exemption is entirely a physician-issued certification. No SOS filing, no DMV visit, no state paperwork.

Apply online in 5 minutes. A licensed MI physician reviews your records and issues your certification digitally.

What Does Michigan Require for a Tint Exemption?

Since there is no state form, a valid Michigan tint exemption certification under MCL §257.709(3) must contain:

Physician Section

Licensed Michigan physician (MD or DO)
Michigan medical license number
Practice address and phone
Diagnosis / qualifying medical condition
Medical necessity statement for tint
Physician signature and date

Patient Information

Full legal name
Date of birth
Michigan address
Driver’s license number
Vehicle information (optional but recommended)
Duration of exemption

No sticker is required. No SOS or state filing is needed. The certification is kept in your vehicle.

Why Most Michigan Doctors Won't Sign Tint Exemption Paperwork

If you've asked your doctor at Henry Ford Health, Beaumont, DMC, or Spectrum Health about a tint exemption, you likely got a "no." Here's why:

Tint exemptions fall outside standard clinical workflow — most doctors aren’t familiar with MCL §257.709(3)
Hospital compliance departments discourage non-standard certifications
Doctors worry about liability for authorizing vehicle modifications
Office staff don’t know how to process the request since there’s no state form
Many physicians simply say “we don’t do that” regardless of medical justification

This is the gap our service fills. We connect you with a licensed Michigan physician who specializes in reviewing medical documentation for tint exemption certifications under MCL §257.709(3).
