Basic Rider Course License Waiver

Upon successful completion of the Basic RiderCourse, a NYSMSP road test waiver card will be issued. You take it to NYS DMV, apply for the motorcycle permit, if you do not have one, present waiver card and pay any fees and you will receive the “M” endorsement. You are required to complete the MSF online eCourse within 30 days of the classroom. The link will be emailed to you and there is no additional charge to take the eCourse.
