Getting Your Virginia Motorcycle License

Once you graduate from our Basic RiderCourse, we’ll issue you a Virginia DMV Certificate—your fast track to legal two-wheel riding.

Here’s What That Certificate Does:

• If you already hold a valid Virginia driver’s license, the certificate serves as your temporary Class “M2” endorsement for 30 days from the date you complete the course.
• The certificate is also valid for one full year as a waiver for the written and road-skills tests required by the Virginia DMV.

How to Get Your Endorsement:

Bring your certificate and your current Virginia driver’s license to any DMV office. You’ll apply for a new license that includes your Class “M2” endorsement. Your updated license will arrive in the mail within 3–5 business days.

Out-of-State? Here’s What to Know:

Many states—except Maryland—accept Virginia’s DMV Certificate as proof of motorcycle safety course completion. However, we recommend contacting your local DMV directly to confirm.

Some states may also request a course completion letter from us. No problem—just ask, and we’ll be happy to provide one.
