the Motorcycle Operation Manual (GHS0071.pdf - 797 KB)
-
Visit
any license agency and ask for a motorcycle permit packet. A fee is charged for this
packet. In addition, you will need to provide proof of identity (See
Acceptable Documents).
-
To help
you study for the written test, be sure to pick up a Motorcycle Operator Manual and a
Digest of Motor Vehicle Laws.
-
After
studying for the test, go to a drivers license exam station and take a vision test and the
written test for motorcycles. No fee is charged for either test.
-
After
passing the written test, the examiner will fill out and validate the
appropriate validation box on the back of your temporary instruction permit.
This form now becomes your temporary instructional permit that must be carried
on your person when operating a motorcycle.
-
Contact
a drivers license exam station to make an appointment for the on-cycle examination. No fee
is charged for this test.
In addition, you will need to provide proof of identity (See
Acceptable Documents).
-
You must
bring a street legal motorcycle to the exam site and you must wear a helmet and eye
protection during the test.
-
After
you have passed the on-cycle test, the examiner will fill out and validate the
road and maneuverability box on the back of your temporary instruction permit.
-
The temporary instruction
permit and your driver's license (if you have one) must be presented to the
license agency to receive your motorcycle license or to add a motorcycle
endorsement to your current valid license. A fee is charged for issuing this
new license.
*If
you are 16 or 17 years old, you must show proof of completing a driver education course
and a motorcycle safety education course before you are eligible to take the on-cycle test
to obtain a motorcycle license or endorsement. If you are 18 years old or above, you are
not required to complete either course to take the on cycle license test. However,
completion of the motorcycle course will provide you with the skills to pass the test.
