In Michigan, a motorcycle endorsement is a special qualification on a regular drivers license that allows the holder to legally ride a motorcycle in the state. It is not a separate drivers license, but rather a designation on the drivers license that indicates the endorsement. To obtain a motorcycle endorsement in Michigan, one must first have a regular drivers license. There are two options for obtaining a motorcycle endorsement in Michigan:
- Complete an approved Michigan Rider Education Program (MI-REP) training course, or
- Pass both a vision test and written test at a Secretary of State office, and then pass a rider skills test from a certified testing organization or complete a certified safety course.
Once the necessary requirements are met, the applicant must file the proper paperwork with the Secretary of State to receive their CY endorsement on their drivers license. The cost of a motorcycle endorsement in Michigan is $16.
