Licensing & Registration: Getting your Motorcycle Endorsement
The law in North Carolina requires the operator of any motorcycle to have a motorcycle
endorsement shown on their driver license. An endorsement may be obtained upon
initial issuance of driver license, or at any time thereafter, by taking a
knowledge test that includes questions on motorcycling, and an off-street motorcycle
skills test. The knowledge test will be waived on a renewal. A duplicate license
may be issued to add an endorsement to your present license if the above testing
requirements are satisfied.
If you are not prepared to take the skills portion of the test, you may apply for a
motorcycle learner permit if you possess a full provisional, regular or commercial
license. The knowledge, road sign identification and vision test are required.
When you register a motorcycle with the Division of Motor
Vehicles, you will receive a license plate to be placed on the
back of the motorcycle. Keep the plate clean and readable. The
registration fee for a private motorcycle is $18.00, or an
additional $30.00 for a personalized plate. Some counties may
require a Regional Transportation Authority Registration Tax of
an additional $5.00.
