What are the requirements for getting a motorcycle license?

To obtain a motorcycle license in Alabama, certain requirements must be fulfilled. Firstly, an applicant must be at least 16 years old and hold a valid Class D driver's license. If under 18, parental consent is necessary. Individuals are then required to pass a written knowledge test and a road skills test, which can be waived if the person has completed an Alabama Motorcycle Safety Course. Additionally, applicants must provide proof of identity, residency, and social security number. A fee is also applicable. It is essential to note that wearing helmets is mandatory for all riders in Alabama. The Alabama Division of Motor Vehicle (DMV/RMV) ensures that these obligations are met to promote safe motorcycle operation within the state.
