Getting a Nevada motorcycle license (Class M)

There are two ways to a Nevada Class M license. Pass a certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation course and you skip the DMV's written and skills tests. Or take the DMV's 25-question motorcycle knowledge test, with 80% to pass, and then a skills test on a closed course. Riders under 18 must hold a permit for 6 months and take a safety course.

Option 1: a certified course

Courses run at many Nevada public colleges and motorcycle dealers, and Nevada Rider, the state's safety program, lists them. A bike is provided and you don't need a permit. Afterwards, bring your completion card, your Nevada license and $8.50 to a DMV office. The DMV accepts courses taken up to a year earlier.

Option 2: the DMV tests

  • Apply in person with your Nevada license or ID and the DMV 002 application. Pay the $25 testing fee plus license fees.
  • Pass the vision test and the 25-question motorcycle knowledge test. Without a Class C license, you take the car written test too.
  • The skills test has four parts: a cone weave and stop, a 90-degree turn then a U-turn, a quick stop, and an obstacle swerve. Wear a DOT helmet, and goggles or a face shield if the bike has no windshield.
  • Fail the DMV skills test twice and you can't get another motorcycle permit. You'd need a certified course instead.

Riding on a permit

You ride only in daylight, with no passengers and no freeways, under the direct sight of a licensed motorcyclist on their own bike who is at least 21 with a year of experience. Under 18, you also log 50 supervised hours. If no course is offered within 30 miles, you log 50 more hours instead.
