The Ministry of Home Affairs has launched an investigation into the falsification of medical certificates being submitted by applicants seeking tint waivers under the new vehicle tint regulations, warning that fraudulent documents will be treated with the utmost seriousness.
In a public notice, the Ministry reminded citizens 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 that process, the authenticity of all information submitted by applicants will be verified.
The Ministry made clear that the investigation extends beyond applicants themselves, warning that medical practitioners and others who improperly issue fraudulent supporting documents will face equally serious consequences.
Motorists with genuine medical conditions are advised to consult registered medical practitioners to determine whether a tint below the legal limit is medically necessary, and to ensure that all documentation submitted is accurate and fully compliant with the regulations.
As a reminder, the approved tint levels under the regulations are as follows: front driver and passenger windows must have a minimum of 25% Visible Light Transmission (VLT); rear passenger windows and back glass must have a minimum of 20% VLT; and no tint is permitted on the front windscreen, with the exception of a visor measuring six inches from the top.
Motorists who believe they qualify for a waiver can submit their applications via the online portal at https://tint.moha.gov.gy.
The Ministry said it remains committed to fair and consistent enforcement of the regulations.
