Motorcycle endorsement
To operate a two- or three-wheeled motorcycle with an engine size greater than 50 cc, you must have a motorcycle endorsement on your driver's license or possess a 'Motorcycle Only' license.
If you are transferring from another state (other than Alabama) and your license has a motorcycle endorsement, Florida will honor the endorsement, and you will not need to take the motorcycle course. For Alabama licenses that include a motorcycle endorsement, Florida will reciprocate the endorsement only if you present a Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Basic Rider Course (BRC) completion card.

After successfully passing the RiderCourse, you must obtain your endorsement within (1) year. If the endorsement has not been obtained during the one (1) year grace period, the course completion card as well as the "PASS" waiver status is considered invalid and you must complete another RiderCourse before the endorsement can be added.

After you complete the Basic RiderCourse (BRC) or Basic RiderCourse updated (BRCu), visit a driver license office or tax collector office that issues driver licenses and inform them that you completed the course. Upon providing proper ID and paying the required endorsement fees, your Class E license will be issued with a motorcycle endorsement.
