Skip the Paperwork — Apply Online Instead

Instead of obtaining the FLHSMV sunscreen exemption form, scheduling a doctor visit, and mailing documents to Tallahassee, you can complete the entire §316.2954 process online in about 5-10 minutes. An appropriately authorized clinician may complete the medical certification on Florida form HSMV 83390; FLHSMV separately decides whether to issue the vehicle-specific certificate.

The Traditional Florida Tint Exemption Form Process

Florida's paper-based exemption process goes through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). Here's how it works:

Obtain the FLHSMV Sunscreen Exemption Form

The Florida sunscreen exemption form (sometimes called a medical waiver or tint exemption certificate) can be obtained from your local FLHSMV tax collector office or through the FLHSMV website. The form has both patient and physician sections that must be completed.

Schedule a Doctor Visit

Schedule an in-person appointment with a licensed Florida physician. The doctor must review your condition and determine that darker window tint is medically necessary under §316.2954. They fill out the physician section including their Florida medical license number, diagnosis, and signature. Most PCPs charge $75-200+ for this type of office visit.

Complete the Patient Section

Fill out your personal information, Florida driver’s license number, vehicle details (VIN, make, model, year), and specify which windows require exemption. All information must match your Florida vehicle registration.

Submit to FLHSMV

Mail or deliver the completed form to FLHSMV in Tallahassee or your local tax collector office. Processing can take several weeks. Once approved, you’ll receive documentation, if independently issued after review and information about obtaining your required compliance sticker.
