If you hold a Virginia driver’s licence but are stationed outside Virginia, you and your family members can add a motorcycle classification by mail instead of coming back to the state. It costs a $20 replacement fee plus $2 per year of motorcycle classification, for up to eight years.
Mail your completed Virginia DMV Driver’s License and Identification Application, your documentation and your fees to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, Driver’s License and ID Card Work Center, P.O. Box 27412, Richmond, VA 23269-0001.
A U.S. Armed Forces approved basic motorcycle rider training course certificate, and proof of status: current military orders, a certification letter on U.S. government letterhead signed by a commanding officer or supervisor, or a front-and-back copy of your active duty or dependent ID card.
