You can add or renew a motorcycle endorsement on your North Carolina driver license while you are stationed outside the state. If a written examination and skills test are not available where you are, NCDMV may accept a Motorcycle Rider Card verified by a military safety officer instead.
Complete the NCDMV Motorcycle Endorsement Request Application for Military Personnel Stationed Abroad and send it with your documents by email to dmvdlosr@ncdot.gov or by fax to 919-861-3393.
A copy of your valid North Carolina driver license, your military ID card, both sides of your Motorcycle Safety Foundation card with written verification of its authenticity from a military safety officer on official letterhead, and a letter from the installation safety office confirming you completed a motorcycle safety course. Include your motorcycle knowledge test scores if you have not taken that test in North Carolina.
