This by weekend an employee at our firm took a motorbike riding class at Ray Price Harley Davidson located in Raleigh. When he came back, he mentioned to me that he didn't know that a riding department was required when obtaining your motorcycle endorsement in North Carolina. I figured this time of yr would be a peachy time to go over exactly what you lot need to know before going to the Department of Motor Vehicles in your respected city and earning your motorcycle endorsement. Before we go into the requirements, let me mention that the class he took at Ray Cost, which included a riding section that he had to pass to complete the grade, omits him from having to complete the riding course at the DMV.

The following is straight from the NC DMV website on Motorcycle endorsements:
_____________________________
Who can employ for a motorcycle endorsement or motorcycle learner permit?

A motorcycle endorsement or motorcycle learner'southward let may be obtained upon initial issuance of a commuter license, or at any time thereafter, if you possess a:

full provisional (level iii) license;
a regular license;
or a commercial commuter license.

What steps are involved in getting a motorcycle endorsement or motorcycle learner let?
The steps to apply for a motorcycle endorsement or motorcycle learner let are initially the same as the steps in applying for a Due north Carolina commuter license, only with additional requirements, fees and tests.

Motorcycle Requirements

To apply for a Motorcycle Learner Permit:

If the applicant is at least 16 years old but less than 18 years onetime, the applicant must possess a full provisional license issued past the DMV. In addition a parent or guardian's signature is required.

If the applicant is 18 years of age or older, the bidder must possess a license issued by the DMV.

To utilise for a Motorcycle Endorsement:
To obtain a motorcycle endorsement y'all must possess a full provisional license, a regular or commercial license.

Motorcycle Fees

The fees for an original North Carolina driver license and learner let are as follows:

Endorsement or Allow Fee
Motorcycle Learner Let $15.00/ 18 months
Motorcycle Endorsement $1.75 / twelvemonth.*

Your license will be issued for a period of 5 or viii years depending on your age. Ages 18 through 53 volition be issued for eight years. Ages 54 and older volition be issued for five years. The price of your license and whatever endorsements will exist computed based on the yearly charge.

Motorcycle Tests

To become your Motorcycle Learner Permit you accept to pass 3 tests: vision, traffic signs, and motorcycle knowledge. If you plan on getting a full Motorbike Endorsement you'll have to pass iv tests:

Vision
Traffic Signs
Motorcycle Knowledge
Motorcycle On-Cycle Skills (Road Examination)

Note: Motorbike skills tests are given on Tuesday, Midweek, and Thursday at viii:30am and 2:30pm, weather permitting. The noesis test must be completed before the skills test is given.

If you are applying for your Driver License at the same fourth dimension as your Motorbike Endorsement or Motorcycle Learner Permit you will only accept to take the vision and traffic signs tests one time.
