The Arizona Department of Transportation requires a Class M endorsement to be legally eligible to drive a motorcycle.

How do I Obtain a Motorcycle Endorsement?
The requirements for receiving a motorcycle endorsement or license in the state of Arizona differ depending on the riders age.
Under the age of 18
If a rider is under the age of 18, prior to receiving a Class M license, Arizona motorcyclists must apply for a Motorcycle Instruction Permit. To qualify for the permit the rider must
- Be at least 15 and 6 months old
- Pass a vision screening
- Pass a written exam
- Carry a Class D driver license
The permit is valid for seven months and can be renewed once within a 24 month period. There are restrictions for this permit, however, including no carrying passengers, no driving on freeways, and no driving in the dark.
Over the age of 18
Those over the age of 18 can apply for a Class M endorsement by:
- Passing a vision test
- Passing a knowledge test
- Passing an on-cycle skills test
- Pay the $7 endorsement fee
Following the states rules and regulations are imperative if a driver wants to receive their motorcycle endorsement. It is important that riders learn the proper way to manage potentially dangerous road hazards to lessen the chance of being involved in an accident or being the cause of one.
