Motorcycle License

Anyone operating any two- or three-wheel motorcycle, whose engine size is more than 50cc, is required to have a motorcycle endorsement on their driver license or hold a ‘Motorcycle Only’ license.

Anyone driving a motorcycle in Florida without an endorsement is violating the law.

obtaining a motorcycle endorsement

To obtain a motorcycle endorsement:

You must hold at least a valid Class E operator’s driver license
Complete motorcycle safety course with an authorized provider
After successfully passing the motorcycle safety course, you must obtain your endorsement within (1) year. If the motorcycle endorsement is not added to your license during the one (1) year grace period, the course completion card as well as the “PASS” waiver status is considered invalid, and you must retake the full motorcycle safety course.
Once you have passed the motorcycle safety course, visit one of our service centers, inform us that you completed the required course, provide proper ID and pay the required fee and your Class E license will be issued with a motorcycle endorsement.

transferring a motorcycle endorsement

Customers aged 16 or older who present a valid driver’s license (or official driving record) showing a motorcycle endorsement from any of the jurisdictions below may have the endorsement carried over to their Florida license:

Any US state, territory, or possession (excluding Alabama)
US Armed Forces
Canada
France
Germany

Customers who took an approved Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) course in another state but did not apply the endorsement to their license can present their course completion card within one year of the issue date to obtain a motorcycle endorsement in Florida.

Visit our New Florida Resident License page for additional details on transferring an out of state or out of country license to Florida.

Note: Customers with an existing motorcycle endorsement from Alabama need to follow instructions to obtain an original motorcycle endorsement. (Alabama’s motorcycle testing regulations do not meet Florida’s requirements.)

obtaining a "motorcycle only" license

To obtain a “Motorcycle Only” license:

You must be at least 16 years old, and if under 18, hold at least a Learner’s License for one year with no traffic convictions
You must pass the same knowledge exam(s) required for a regular Class E driver license
You must complete motorcycle safety course with an authorized provider
After you complete the Basic Rider’s course or BRC, visit our service centers, inform us that you completed the required course, provide proper ID and pay the required fee and your “Motorcycle Only” license will be issued.
