Your next steps are a variable based on if you passed or failed the Knowledge or Skills test.

Your Next Step

Your permit scores have been submitted to the DOL so you can now add your motorcycle permit to your Drivers License.  
 
You do not have your motorcycle permit until you add it to your own license.  In most cases you can do this online using License eXpress.  In some cases, you will need to visit a DOL office.   
 
Your permit is valid for 180 days from the date of issuance and permit scores are valid for one year from your test date.  Be sure to keep these expirations in mind.  You cannot add your endorsement if you don’t have a valid permit or valid permit scores so we encourage you to plan ahead and register in advance for an endorsement course.  They do sell out.   
 
This one day course includes an informative classroom session and skill building range exercises.  The DOL endorsement knowledge and skills tests are included in the course. You can use your own street legal, licensed and insured motorcycle, or you can use one of our training motorcycles.  If you have any questions, let us know.
