Chapter 1

Understanding the Florida Motorcycle Permit Process

Let’s cover the must-know rules and forms upfront, and then it'll be smooth sailing.

First Things First: Why You Need a Motorcycle Endorsement or License

You wouldn’t fly a plane without a pilot’s license, so why ride without the proper prep? The same goes for motorcycles. In Florida, you can’t legally ride a bike on public roads unless you have one of two things:

A motorcycle endorsement allows you to ride without needing a separate license; it's added to your current Florida driver's license, or

A Motorcycle-Only License (if you don’t want a regular driver’s license at all)

It’s not just about following the rules; it's about ensuring you know what you're doing before hitting the road.

Who Needs a Motorcycle Permit in Florida?

Here's where it gets a little technical, but stay with me — it's simple when broken down.

If you're entirely new to motorcycle licensing, don't worry, follow these steps:

Obtain a learner's permit first (if under 18),

Next, you must pass the Basic Rider Course (BRC), which the Florida Rider Training Program officially approves.

Then, complete and submit your application to request your motorcycle license or endorsement officially.

Florida doesn't issue a motorcycle learner's permit like some states do. Instead, you take a rider safety course; after completing that, you're eligible for the real thing. So technically, the BRC replaces the traditional permit phase.

Step-by-Step: How to Get Your Motorcycle License or Endorsement in Florida (2025)

Let’s go over it in plain, simple terms that are easy to follow.

STEP 1: Hold a Class E (Regular Driver's License)

Good news, having a Class E Florida license means you’re halfway there! You’re halfway there. Without it, you can’t move on, so start there.

STEP 2: Take the Basic Rider Course (BRC)

To move forward, you must pass the state-approved Basic Rider Course (BRC). It’s a hands-on course that teaches:

Basic motorcycle controls

Safe riding habits

Real-world traffic strategies

It’s a 2–3 day course that blends both theory in the classroom and practical riding sessions. Passing the BRC earns you a certificate of completion, which is your key to getting your motorcycle license.

Pro tip: Check the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) website to choose an approved training centre near you.

STEP 3: Visit the DMV (with the proper documents)

Once you pass the BRC, take your certificate to a Florida DMV office. You’ll need to:

Present your driver’s license

Present your BRC completion certificate

Pay a $7 endorsement fee + any administrative costs

You don’t need to take an additional skills test at the DMV — the BRC covers that.

STEP 4: Congratulations, You're Legal!

After your motorcycle endorsement is added or a motorcycle-only license is issued, you are legally permitted to ride throughout Florida, provided you comply with all applicable traffic laws.

What If I’m Under 18?

Here’s the special rule for younger riders:

For those under 18, Florida law sets a few essential requirements:

Stay licensed as a learner for a minimum of one full year.

Have no traffic convictions during that time

Complete the Basic Rider Course like everyone else

Only then can you apply for your motorcycle license or endorsement.

Motorcycle-Only License vs Motorcycle Endorsement: What’s the Difference?

This trips many people up, so let's keep it simple.

License Type

Motorcycle Endorsement

Motorcycle-Only License

What It Means

Added to your regular driver’s license

Standalone license for motorcycle use only

Who It’s For

For people who already have a Class E license

For people who don’t want or need a regular car license

Most folks go for the endorsement, but either one gets you legal on two wheels.

How Much Does It All Cost?

Let’s talk dollars:

Item

Estimated Cost

Basic Rider Course (BRC)

$200 – $300 (varies by provider)

Endorsement Fee

$7

License Fee (if getting motorcycle-only license)

Around $48

Total estimate: $250–$350, depending on where you take your course.

Money-saving tip: Some training schools include the endorsement fee in the course price — ask before you register.
