Physician conducting a telehealth visit to certify a medical window tint exemption

Meet someone like you.

People who qualify often don't realize it. Here are a few of their stories.

Portrait of Miguel, a man in his late forties
Lupus

Miguel, 47 — Miami, FL

Miguel was diagnosed with lupus five years ago. Direct sun through his windshield triggers painful flares that keep him off work for days. His dermatologist told him medical tint was essential, but he kept getting tickets for it. One telehealth visit later, he had an exemption certificate that officers actually recognize.

Portrait of Rebecca, a woman in her early thirties
Chronic Migraines

Rebecca, 32 — Charlotte, NC

Rebecca gets debilitating migraines triggered by bright light. She used to drive squinting behind sunglasses, dreading long commutes. After adding legal medical tint, her drive became bearable, but she needed proof to avoid tickets. Rocket Records had her certification back in a day.

Portrait of Ricardo, a man in his late twenties
Albinism

Ricardo, 28 — San Antonio, TX

Ricardo has ocular albinism. Bright sun makes it hard to see the road, and Texas sun is relentless. He put medical tint on his car for safety, but then worried about traffic stops. His exemption came through in under 48 hours.

THE PROBLEM

Getting a tint exemption meant jumping through hoops.

  1. Schedule a doctor's appointment Wait weeks for an appointment with a specialist. Take time off work. Explain your condition all over again.
  2. Get proper medical documentation Not all doctors know what's required for a tint exemption. Hope your paperwork meets your state's specific format the first time.
  3. Risk tickets while you wait Every time you get pulled over without a valid exemption, you risk a fine or citation. With no certificate in hand, you're driving on borrowed time.

Before Rocket Records, there was only one way to do this, and it was exhausting.

Driver reviewing paperwork, stressed about window tint compliance

I was getting stopped every other week for my tint. My skin condition needed it. Rocket Records had my exemption in less than 48 hours and I haven't had an issue since.

Louisiana sun with lupus was brutal. My car became unusable without dark tint. Now I have the paperwork to keep it legal, and my flares have gone way down.

FAQs

Rocket Records provides the physician-signed medical exemption certificate that your state (and any officer during a traffic stop) requires to permit darker window tint on your vehicle. Without this documentation, dark tint above your state's legal limit can result in fines or citations.

We offer a full money-back guarantee. If you don't qualify, you don't pay.

That's right. We retrieve your existing medical records and work with licensed healthcare providers to verify your condition. If your records clearly show you qualify, no additional doctor visit is needed.

Yes. Your exemption certificate is signed by a licensed physician and formatted to meet your state's specific requirements. Present it during any traffic stop, and it's fully accepted by law enforcement.

Most applications are processed same-day. Your signed exemption certificate is typically delivered within 24-48 hours, ready to keep in your vehicle immediately.

Validity depends on your state. Most states require renewal every 1 to 4 years with updated physician certification: California exemptions expire after 2 years, New York after 1 year, Vermont after 4 years. A few states like Florida issue non-expiring certificates as long as the underlying condition exists. We'll tell you your state's specific term and can help you renew when it's time.

Many qualifying conditions aren't visible. Photophobia, lupus, migraines, eye disorders, and post-surgical recovery all qualify. Eligibility is based on how sunlight affects your health, not on how you look.

Different states process medical tint exemptions in different ways. Some (like California and Arizona) accept a physician letter you carry in your vehicle. Others (like Virginia and West Virginia) issue a state decal for your window. Texas and a few others require registration with the DMV. A few states have narrow or no medical exemption pathways: Iowa stopped granting new exemptions in 2012, Hawaii's tint statute currently includes no medical provision, and Kansas allows only clear UV-blocking film (78%+ light transmittance) with a physician's statement. We'll tell you exactly what your state requires when you start your application.

For most states, your physician's certificate IS the exemption — there's no separate approval process to be denied. If our clinician determines you don't qualify, we'll explain why and help you gather additional medical records for reconsideration if appropriate. In states that require DMV registration (like Texas), if the state rejects the paperwork, we'll help you appeal or resubmit. We also offer a partial refund in the case of denial.
