How to Add a Motorcycle License with an Existing Motor Vehicle Driver's License?
2 Answers
Fill out the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Application Form", submit proof of identity, physical condition, and the currently held C1 "Driver's License". Apply for the additional license at the vehicle management office where the C1 "Driver's License" was issued. Study the relevant knowledge, schedule and take the exam. Upon passing the exam, receive the new "Driver's License" and surrender the original motor vehicle "Driver's License".
I just got my motorcycle license added last year, and the process was quite straightforward. First, I went to the DMV to clarify the required documents—I brought my ID card and original driver's license. Then, I went to a designated hospital for a physical exam, mainly checking vision and color recognition. The key point is that you can only apply for the additional license after your car driver's license has passed the one-year probationary period. When registering, I chose the E license for regular two-wheeled motorcycles, paid the fee, and then scheduled the exams. The theory test (Subject 1) covers regulations, and downloading a question bank app to practice was enough—it’s simpler than the car test. Subject 2 is the field test, where practicing slalom (weaving through cones) was the most frequent, requiring good coordination of the throttle and clutch. For the road test (Subject 3), I had to remember to signal early and observe road conditions. Finally, after passing Subject 4, I got my license on the spot. The whole process took two months, and now riding a motorcycle during traffic jams is super convenient for commuting.
