Bermuda announced on March 21, 2025 that applications for vehicle-tint exemptions would become available online from March 31. The Transport Control Department included them in the first phase of a wider move from paper processes to digital services.
The ministerial statement grouped tint applications with exemptions involving seatbelts, signage and licensing fees. It said the digital process would let applicants submit forms outside normal office hours and receive updates about their applications, reducing the need for in-person visits.
A July 14 government update subsequently confirmed that the first phase had become available on March 31. That later confirmation matters because the original announcement described a planned launch, while the follow-up reported availability.
For motorists, the development concerned how to request an exemption. The announcements did not set a new light-transmission threshold or promise automatic approval. The government’s current online-services page continues to list an exemption application for special circumstances, giving vehicle owners an official route to start that process.
