You must have a valid Montana driver’s license to apply for a motorcycle license, meaning you must be at least 16 years old.
Once you pass the written exam, you will be issued a motorcycle learner’s license which allows you to practice riding on public roads.
This learner’s license is valid for one year after passing the knowledge test, and you can only operate a motorcycle with licensed supervision.
When you’re ready, you can schedule a skills test at the DMV in order to earn your full motorcycle license.
At this time, your score on both tests, your vision, your physical ability, and your driving record will be reviewed.
