The process mirrors New driving license, but you apply with the motorcycle driving license request instead. Take the same care with the medical exam: the GDT needs your blood type on file before it issues the learner's permit.
Steps to get a motorcycle license
- Print the motorcycle driving license request.
- Sign the medical fitness certificate after the request is approved.
- Medical exam and blood type. The License Department then issues a driving learner's permit.
- Book the driving test through the Ministry of Interior website.
- Pass the practical and theory tests. The License Department then completes the license issue.
