How Strict Are The New Jersey Window Tinting Laws?

If you love car window tint, then I'm sure you'll get frustrated with New Jersey window tinting laws.

In case you don't know, New Jersey doesn't allow tinting the front windshield and front-seat side windows. There I've dropped the bomb.

According to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, you can have your vehicle windshield and/or front side windows tinted with a medical exemption only.

To apply for window tinting, the New Jersey window tinting laws state that you must file and complete your application by filling out an online form downloaded on their website, by emailing [email protected], or by calling 609-984-2973.

Now if you don't have any health condition and still want your car windows to be tinted, here's what you need to know about what's legal and what's not.

LEGAL TINT LIMIT FOR MULTI-PURPOSE VEHICLES:

Front Windshield - You cannot tint this window because it is illegal
Front-seat side windows - You cannot tint this window because it is illegal
Back seat side windows - You can use any tint darkness
Rear window - You can use any tint darkness

LEGAL TINT LIMIT FOR PASSENGER VEHICLES

Front Windshield - You cannot tint this window because it is illegal
Front-seat side windows - You cannot tint this window because it is illegal
Back seat side windows - You can use any tint darkness
Rear window - You can use any tint darkness

Aside from that, New Jersey has several other important laws, rules, and regulations pertaining to window tinting:

Side Mirrors - If the back window is tinted, dual side mirrors are required
Restricted Colors - No banned tint colors
Certificates - Film manufacturers don't need to certify the film they sell
Stickers - Stickers to identify legal tinting are not required.
Medical Exceptions - New Jersey allows medical exemptions for special tint.

For more details about New Jersey window tinting law, please refer to their government website or consult New Jersey law office.
