If you are a New York State resident, you must have a Class M or Class MJ driver license or learner permit to drive a motorcycle.
Just to confirm... do you need a motorcycle license?
Yes, I need to get it.
First of all, you must first get a motorcycle learner permit. The DMV will offer you 3 types of documents. for more information, see "Enhanced , REAL ID and Standard documents".
I already have a New York State learner permit, Does this permit help me?
Yes, bring the document to a DMV office and a $10.00 payment for the application fee and the motorcycle license fee.
What if I don't have another class of New York State driver license?
You will receive your motorcycle license with your photo by mail about 2 weeks after your road test and you don't have to visit a DMV office.
Can I get the motorcycle road test waived?
Yes, we can waive the test if you are qualified and you complete an approved course.
Have you already got information about approved courses in your area?
Yes, I got some info about it, thanks.
Ok, anyway, you can visit the New York State Motorcycle Safety Program website or call toll-free at 1-800-446-9227.
What if I pass the road test?
