No. New Hampshire law prohibits window tinting below 35% light transmittance on passenger vehicles, rendering 15% tint illegal. The New Hampshire Department of Safety, Division of Motor Vehicles enforces this under RSA 266:57, with penalties including fines up to $250. After 2026, stricter federal vehicle safety standards may further limit aftermarket tint compliance.
