Get your motorcycle licence
Pay a fee and get your learner rider licence
When you have passed both the riders knowledge test and pre-learner practical test, you must pay the learner licence fee at a MVR office.
You can pay by any of the following:
- Visa card or MasterCard
- EFTPOS
- cash
- cheque.
You will have your photo taken at the MVR office, unless you already hold a licence for another class such as a car licence.
Your learner rider licence will be processed at the MVR.
You can start riding once you have received your learner rider licence.
Your R class learner rider licence has conditions which include all of the following:
- zero blood alcohol concentration
- must not exceed 80km/h
- display an L plate at the rear of the motorcycle you're riding
- do not carry pillion passengers
- only ride motorcycles approved for novice riders.
To get the list of approved motorcycles for novice riders, go to the New South Wales Government's website.
Read more about R class and other licence classes and conditions.
Once you have your learner licence, you will need to hold it for a minimum of six consecutive months immediately before you can sit your riding test to get your next stage class R licence.
