Trinidad and Tobago amended its vehicle-tint exemption rules through Legal Notice 78, published in the Gazette on May 2, 2024. The minister made the instrument on April 26, according to its signature line.
The amendment added an exemption category for vehicles used for national-security purposes, with a recommendation from the minister responsible for national security to the Licensing Authority. That language limits the category to its stated purpose.
It also set a three-month submission window for a medical certificate, measured from the examination date recorded by the practitioner. The Licensing Authority may permit submission after that period, so the text includes an express exception to the deadline.
The underlying 2020 framework required a medical certificate from a practitioner registered as a specialist, confirming a listed condition that made sunlight exposure harmful. It also required a declaration that the vehicle would regularly carry the applicant or other person covered by that certificate.
