Applying for a motorcycle learner's licence
Step 1
Study the ICBC manual: RoadSense for Riders.
You can pick up a free copy from your nearest
driver
licensing office, or download
RoadSense for Riders
now.
One of the next things you will do is take a motorcycle
knowledge test. This test is based on the material in RoadSense
for Riders.
Step 2
When you feel ready to take the knowledge test,
go to your driver licensing office and apply for a learner's (Class
6L) licence. You'll have to answer some questions and provide any
information requested.
Bring proper
identification documents with you. This is important. Sorry,
but without the right ID we can't process your application.
Also, if you are under 19, you'll need to bring
your custodial parent or legal guardian with you, as they need to
sign a consent for your application. (If you are not living with
a parent or guardian, ask for more information.)
Note: outstanding court fines or debts owed to
the province or to ICBC must be settled before you can obtain a
licence. See Tickets
and other penalties for details.
Step 3
Take the motorcycle
knowledge test.
We will also make sure you are fit
to drive. We will ask you about your medical condition, and
conduct a vision check.
Step 4
If you pass the knowledge test and your application
is accepted, you will get your motorcycle learner's
(Class 6L) licence.
