How to Get Your Motorcycle Licence in Newfoundland and Labrador (Class 6)

Newfoundland and Labrador licenses motorcycles under Class 6 through the Motor Registration Division. You must be 16. Book the written test online, and you'll also need to pass a Motorcycle Balance test (before or after the written test) before you get your learner licence. From there: Level I (Class 6I) for 12 months, or 8 with an approved motorcycle education program, then a road test, then Level II (Class 6II) for 12 months, then a full Class 6.
