How to add a motorcycle endorsement to your Oklahoma driver’s license

Before you’re allowed to drive a motorcycle in Oklahoma, you need to add an “M” endorsement to your driver’s license. How exactly do you add this “M” endorsement?

It’s simple! You’ll need to appear before a Driver License examiner and present the following documentation:

A piece of

primary ID

Your social security number

If you changed your name, any documents showing the change (i.e., marriage certificate)

If you have finished the

Motorcycle Safety Foundation

course, you can have the skills and written tests waived, but you’ll need to bring the completion card to be eligible. For drivers taking the test, don’t forget to bring valid proof of your

motorcycle insurance

And finally, if you are driving a motorcycle without an adequate windshield, bring a pair of goggles with a face shield or one that meets

ANSI Z87.1 standards

Drivers who pass the written exam (or the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course) can request a Motorcycle Learner Permit. You’ll have to hold your learner permit for at least 30 days, during which you can only drive your motorcycle while accompanied by someone over the age of 21 with a motorcycle license. This person will instruct you and, therefore, must always have visual contact with you.
