FAQ
Can I ride a motorcycle on a misdemeanor or felony limited license?
Yes. In addition to meeting all other requirements for the limited license under AS 28.15.201(d) or (g), limited motorcycle privileges can be granted after passing the motorcycle knowledge and skills test if required (bikes must be equipped with an IID).
The skills test fee is $15. Appointments can be scheduled online or at a DMV office.
An additional $20 licensing fee applies if the motorcycle license is later added to your Class D (regular vehicle) limited license. If you meet the requirements to obtain both a motorcycle and vehicle limited license in the same application a one-time $20 fee applies.
