No, 35% window tint is illegal in Israel under Road Traffic Ordinance (Traffic Regulations) 1961 and Ministry of Transport (MoT) Circular 2023-05, which mandates 70% light transmittance for front side windows and 35% for rear side/rear windows. Enforcement by the Israel Police Traffic Division has intensified since 2024, with fines up to 500 NIS and mandatory tint removal.
Key Regulations for 35% Window Tint in Israel
- Front Side Windows: Must allow ≥70% light transmittance (≤30% tint). 35% tint violates this limit, risking fines or vehicle impoundment.
- Rear Side/Rear Windows: Permitted ≤35% tint, but only if factory-installed or explicitly approved by the MoT. Aftermarket 35% tint is prohibited without certification.
- Medical Exemptions: Require MoT-issued permits (valid for 3 years) with supporting physician documentation. Self-declaration is insufficient.
