Can I get motorcycle drivers license

#1 Unread post by winifreda »

Can I get motorcycle drivers license in different state than my car license? My permanent home is in Virginia where I acquired my car driver's license. However I go to school in North Carolina and would like to get my motorcycle driver's license. Can I take the safety course and examination in North Carolina and acquire the license and still be able to drive my motorcycle in Virginia?

In a word, no. You have to get your license in the state you live in.
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.

You can switch your license to NC then switch back when you come home. Otherwise head back to Va for a weekend and take the safety course. Richmond has a two day class on sat/sunday though I'm sure there's a spot closer to the border
