Michigan law requires all motorcycles that are operated on public roadways to be registered with the Secretary of State. Motorcycle registration is issued for one year and expires on the owner’s birthday.

Registration is a simple process. To register your motorcycle, you will need to:

• For new registrations, you must show title to your motorcycle
• For renewal registrations, you can either show title, your notice of renewal, or last year’s registration
• For all registrations, you must show a minimum of $20,000/$40,000 public liability and $10,000 property damage coverage. Read more about PLPD insurance.
• For new registrations, it will be necessary to go to the Secretary of State’s office. Renewal registrations can be done online at the Secretary of State’s webpage. The State will charge you a fee, which you can pay by credit card when registering online.

The State of Michigan has established several requirements that must be met in order to legally drive a motorcycle in Michigan. Michigan’s licensing program is administered by the Secretary of State’s office. There is a fee for issuing the motorcycle endorsement, which can be paid at the Secretary of State’s branch office.

The Secretary of State will issue a motorcycle endorsement for a driver’s license to a person if that person meets the following requirements.

• Possess a valid driver’s license

• Register the motorcycle at a Secretary of State’s branch office

• Show proof of insurance of at least $20,000/$40,000 public liability and $10,000 property damage coverage

• Pass a vision test

• Pass a written driver’s knowledge test administered by the Secretary of State’s office

• Complete a motorcycle safety course (if under 16)

• Pass a motorcycle rider skills test

• Present a completion card from a safety course or a skills test certificate within 1 year to a Secretary of State’s branch office
