    transferring motorcycle endorsement

    I am moving to Florida in August. Just wondering if anyone knows if I can transfer my motorcycle endorsement without having to retake the tests?

    Re: transferring motorcycle endorsement

    Between Fl --> GA --> CO, all I needed was to show my existing valid license and endorsement, and the next state moved my endorsement over. My buddy went from Maryland to FL and had no issues either.

    Re: transferring motorcycle endorsement

    When I went from SC to FL years ago to go to grad school, it transferred over.

    Yeah, I think the "M" is pretty ubiquitous. I moved here from Ohio & they transferred it right over. Just remember to double check & make sure that the actually DO transfer it. Otherwise you've gotta take the test for sure

    I thought the "M" was for "Move Bitch" "get out of the way" - ludacris???

    I had no issues from Maryland to Colorado (except for the long lines)...

    Re: transferring motorcycle endorsement

    After a lady @ the CO DMV handed me my new license, as I turned away I looked & noticed that I didn't have the "M" on it. I turned back & said I need the M endorsement transfered on it.

    She was a Biatch about it & said I didn't & she couldn't. With a very persuasive tone she finally processed it!!!

    Make sure they do carry it over on the new license or you would have to take the test again!!!!

    +1 on that. When I went from FL -> NC -> CO somewhere along the line it didn't get transferred and I was riding out here for years without an endorsement. Had to go take the test again. It was fun demonstrating skills I had never had to use in the 25 years since the last time I took the test.

    Re: transferring motorcycle endorsement

    CO honors reciprocity for endorsement with other states. As long as you have it somewhere else, you can get it on your license here without another test AFAIK, just make sure you ask for it at the time as they probably won't do it automatically.
