-public advised to use registered medical practitioners

THE Ministry of Home Affairs announced on Thursday that it is investigating the falsification of medical certificates submitted by applicants for tint waivers.

“The public is reminded that a robust verification system is in place to oversee the issuance of tint waivers in accordance with the Tint Regulations which came into force on January 1, 2026.

“As part of this process, the ministry will seek to verify the authenticity of all information submitted by applicants.

“All fraudulent documents, whether submitted by an applicant or improperly issued by medical practitioners and others, will be treated with the utmost seriousness,” the ministry said in a statement.

It added that motorists with medical conditions are advised to consult registered medical practitioners to determine whether a tint below the legal limit is necessary and to ensure that all supporting documentation submitted is accurate and compliant with the regulations.

The ministry used the opportunity to remind the public of the new, approved tint levels. The front driver and passenger windows must have 25 per cent Visible Light Transmission (VLT), the rear passenger windows and back glass mut have 20 per cent VLT and no tint is permitted on the front windscreen, except for a visor measuring six inches from the top.

Applications for tint waivers can be submitted via the online portal: https://tint.moha.gov.gy⁠. The release said adding that the ministry remains committed to fair and consistent enforcement of our regulations.
