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. SOS requirements should be confirmed, DMV requirements should be confirmed, current state paperwork requirements should be confirmed.

What Does Michigan Require for a Tint Exemption?

Since there is no standardized state form is identified in current published guidance, 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 Some Patients Seek Coordination Support

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 standardized state form is identified in current published guidance
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).
