Idaho: Everything You Need to Know
Idaho Window Tint Exemption Laws
Idaho's medical window tint exemption is authorized under Idaho Code § 49-944(4). Individuals who must be protected from exposure to sunlight or heat for medical reasons can obtain written verification from a licensed physician and legally install darker window tint.
- The exemption allows darker tint on the windshield (70% VLT minimum) and all other windows (20% VLT minimum).
- Written verification from a licensed physician must be carried in the vehicle at all times.
- The exemption applies to vehicles operated by, or carrying as a passenger, a person with physician verification.
- Idaho does not require a state-issued certificate or specific form – only a physician's written verification.
- There's no expiration date for the exemption.

To qualify for a medical window tint exemption in Idaho, you'll need:

FAQs
Why do I need TintedMD? Can’t I just get my windows tinted?
Idaho Code § 49-944(4) requires written verification from a licensed physician before you can legally have darker window tint. Without this medical verification carried in your vehicle, you can be cited for illegal tint. TintedMD provides this required physician verification 100% online – no office visit needed.
What exactly does TintedMD provide?
We provide the physician-signed verification letter required by Idaho Code § 49-944(4) that legally authorizes darker window tint. Your signed letter is delivered digitally same-day, ready to print and keep in your vehicle.
How much does TintedMD cost?
TintedMD offers the lowest cost in the US for medical window tint exemption certifications. You only pay if our licensed physician approves your evaluation – 100% money-back guarantee. We also offer interest-free payment plans to make it even more affordable.
Does Idaho require a specific form or state certificate?
No. Idaho does not issue state certificates or require a specific form. You need only written verification from a licensed physician stating you must be protected from sunlight or heat for medical reasons associated with past or current treatment.
How long is Idaho window tint exemption valid?
Idaho Code § 49-944 does not specify an expiration date. Your physician's verification remains valid as long as your medical condition persists.
What windows can I tint with an exemption?
With a medical exemption, Idaho allows 70% VLT minimum on the windshield (below AS-1 line) and 20% VLT minimum on all other windows. This is 15% darker than the standard 35% limit on front side windows.
Is the exemption tied to a specific vehicle?
No. Idaho Code § 49-944(4) applies to any motor vehicle "operated by, or carrying as a passenger" a person with physician verification. Your letter works whether you're driving or riding in any vehicle.
Can I get pulled over for dark tint even with an exemption?
Yes, law enforcement may stop you if your tint appears darker than legal limits. Simply present your physician verification letter to show you have a valid exemption.
