What are the steps to obtain a motorcycle endorsement?

Asked 6 months ago
To obtain a motorcycle endorsement in Michigan, you need to follow a few steps. First, you must possess a valid Michigan driver's license. Then, visit a Secretary of State office and take both a written knowledge test and a vision screening. If you pass these tests, you will receive a Temporary Instruction Permit (TIP). The TIP allows you to practice riding a motorcycle under certain limitations. Next, complete a motorcycle safety course approved by the Secretary of State or pass a skills test conducted by a Third-Party Tester. Upon successful completion, you will be issued a motorcycle endorsement, which you can obtain at any Secretary of State office. Remember to bring identification and the necessary fees. A motorcycle endorsement enables you to legally operate a motorcycle on Michigan roadways.
