No, 35% window tinting is illegal in Norway under the Forskrift om kjøretøy (Vehicle Regulations), enforced by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration (Statens vegvesen). Front side windows must allow ≥70% light transmission, while rear windows may have ≥25% tint, but 35% exceeds the legal limit for front windows. Police and roadside checks enforce compliance, with fines up to NOK 5,000 for violations.
Key Regulations for 35% Window Tint in Norway
- Front side windows: Must transmit ≥70% light (≤30% tint). 35% tint violates this threshold.
- Rear side/rear windows: Permitted ≥25% tint (≤75% light transmission), but 35% is only legal if the vehicle has factory tint or meets exemption criteria (e.g., medical permits).
- Medical exemptions: Require documentation from a physician and approval from Statens vegvesen; 35% tint without approval is still prohibited.
Norway’s 2026 regulatory updates emphasize stricter enforcement via automated camera systems in urban zones, targeting non-compliant tinting. Vehicles with aftermarket tint exceeding limits face immediate fines, and re-tinting may be mandated for compliance. Exemptions are rare and scrutinized; drivers must retain proof of legal tinting during inspections.
