What Is It

This outlines the process for obtaining a permit from the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to install vehicle window tinting that exceeds the legally permitted Visible Light Transmission (VLT) limits. The standard VLT limits are: * Windscreen: Minimum 70% VLT. * Front Side Windows (Driver & Front Passenger): Minimum 50% VLT. * Rear Side and Rear Windscreens: No limit (can be fully tinted to 0% VLT). Permits for darker tints are generally granted only for specific health reasons (e.g., medical conditions like skin disorders or severe light sensitivity) or security reasons (e.g., for VIPs or individuals with documented threat risks).

Who Is Eligible

Individuals or entities requiring darker window tints for their vehicles due to: * Documented Health Conditions: Requiring protection from excessive sunlight (e.g., skin conditions, photophobia). * Security Concerns: Requiring enhanced privacy or protection for occupants (e.g., VIPs, individuals under threat).

Required Documents

* Completed Borang CG1: The official application form for tinted glass permits. * Copy of Identity Card (IC): For the applicant. * Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC): Proof of vehicle ownership. * Certified Supporting Documents: * For health reasons: A letter from a certified medical specialist detailing the medical condition and the necessity for darker tints. * For security reasons: Official documentation justifying the security requirements or threat assessment.

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. Complete Borang CG1: Fill out the application form accurately and completely. 2. Gather Supporting Documents: Collect your IC, Vehicle Ownership Certificate (VOC), and the relevant certified supporting documents (medical letter or security justification). 3. Submit Application: Lodge the completed Borang CG1 and all supporting documents to the JPJ Enforcement Division Headquarters in Putrajaya or any State JPJ office.

Cost & Processing Time

* Application Fee (Security-based permits only): RM50. * Approved Permit Fee (Security-based permits only): RM5,000 for a 2-year validity period. * Health-based permits: Free. * Processing Time: Verification and approval can take 1 to 3 months.

Where to Apply

Important Notes

* Applications for darker tints are not granted for general aesthetic preferences or commercial purposes. Strict criteria apply. * Ensure all supporting documents are properly certified as required. * The permit, once approved, is specific to the vehicle and the stated reason (health or security). * For vehicles with factory-fitted tints that already meet or exceed the legal VLT limits, a permit is not required.
