Hello, I suffer from chronic migraines. I am a disabled veteran and I have been receiving botox shots in the head, neck and upper back for the last 3 years to help with the severity of the migraines. If is possible that this qualifies me for the exemption? I am light and heat sensitive when I have headaches or migraines. Thank you
You can take your approved medical exemption form to any local reputable window tinting shop and they can best direct you on the proper tinting for your vehicle.
My dermatologist signed the application for my vehicles in Florida. Recently I sold two cars, do I need to reapply all over again with another medical form from my doctor?
Great question! The exemption is for the vehicle, not necessarily the person driving it. With that said, there is nothing stopping an officer from giving you a ticket which you would then have to contest.
This is probably a better question for your local DMV. Unfortunately we do not have an answer for you but we would love to hear back from you to find out!
How long does it take to get confirmation I have received the exemption. I sent mine in and had a doctor sign it too. I just don’t know how long and if they send it by email or mail?
