Hitting the Open Road: Your Guide to Getting a Motorcycle License in Nevada
Nevada’s vast landscapes and scenic highways are a dream for motorcycle enthusiasts. But before you can cruise down the Strip (legally!), you’ll need a motorcycle license.
Here’s a quick and easy breakdown of the process in Nevada:
Gearing Up for Your Class M
In Nevada, there’s just one motorcycle license class: the Class M. The good news? You can qualify for your Class M in two ways:
- Take a Ride Through Safety Class: Nevada offers motorcycle safety courses approved by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). Completing this course waives the written and skills tests at the DMV. It’s a great option to gain practical skills and knowledge before hitting the road.
- DMV Written and Skills Test: If you prefer a more traditional route, you can take the written knowledge test and a skills test administered by the DMV.
Heads Up: Additional Requirements
For riders under 18, Nevada has additional requirements, including a learner’s permit, written test, and completion of a motorcycle safety course.
