Question

whats the age for motorcycle license in Louisiana, cant seem to find it at the DMV website.

Answer 1

Actual license requirement is 17 years old for the state of Louisiana. Those under 17 years old have additional requirements to complete driving/training courses. First line of the following paragraph includes motorcycles when it says that Class E is for the operation of any single motor vehicle under 10k pounds gross vehicle weight.

"R.S. 32:408 B.(2)(e) and 405.1:
Class E Driver's License - Personal Vehicle
Age Requirements: 17 years or above.
Permits the operation of any single motor vehicle under 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, any personal use recreational vehicle and farm vehicles controlled and operated by a farmer to transport agricultural products, farm machinery, or farm supplies to and from a farm within 150 air miles of the owner's or operator's farm (not used in operation of a Common or Contract Carrier, and not used to transport passengers or property for hire)or any other vehicle which is not used in the transportation of hazardous materials which is required to be placarded. No first-time application for a Louisiana Class E license shall be received from any person seventeen (17) years of age or older unless there is also submitted with the application written evidence of the successful completion by the applicant of a full thirty-six (36) hour driver's education course or of an approved six (6) hour "pre-licensing" training course which was approved by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections. New applicants transferring in with an out-of-state, foreign, or military license are exempt from this requirement. In addition, this requirement shall not apply to those seventeen (17) years of age if they do not live within twenty-five (25) miles of a location which provides such course.

R.S. 32:422
Class E Learner's License for those 17 years of age and above
Any applicant seventeen (17) years of age or above who is applying for a learner's license will be required to provide proof that he/she has completed a full thirty (36) hour driver's education course or a six (6) hour pre-licensing course. Once this proof is furnished and provided all other general requirements are met including successfully passing the vision and written examinations, the learner's license may be issued. This license authorizes the holder to drive while accompanied by a licensed driver. Upon providing this proof, the restriction may be removed immediately upon the applicant successfully passing the on-the-road driving examination.

NOTE: The above classes do not include the operation of motorcycles and motorscooters except as an endorsement to the basic license.

(See special note below for information on Class E learner's licenses and intermediate licenses for those under 17 years of age.)

R.S. 32:408 (3)
The following endorsements are possible to the classes of Commercial Driver's Licenses:
"T" Double/Triple Trailers
"P" Passenger
"N" Tank Vehicles
"H" Hazardous Materials * (issued only to persons 21 years of age or above)*
"X" CombinationTank Vehicles and Hazardous Materials
"M" Motorcycle
"S" School Bus

SPECIAL NOTE: According to Act 725 of the 1997 Regular Session (R.S. 32:405.1), effective January 1, 1998, the age requirement for a Class E license has been raised to seventeen (17) years of age. The age requirement for a Class D license remains at seventeen (17). By way of this act, a graduated licensing system for those under seventeen (17) years of age was created. The following is an explanation of that system.

R.S. 32:407
Class E Learners Permit
Age Requirements: 15 and 16 years of age.
Effective January 1, 1998, a minor fifteen (15) or sixteen (16) years of age may only be issued a Class E Learner's License/Permit. This license will enable the minor to drive while being accompanied by a licensed parent, guardian or a licensed adult at least age twenty-one or older or a licensed sibling at least age eighteen or older but in no event may it be upgraded to a higher class license prior to the minor reaching sixteen (16) years of age. In addition to the licensed parent, sibling, guardian or adult, there may be other members of the permittee's immediate family in the vehicle and when accompanied by a driver's education teacher there may be one or more fellow driver education students in the vehicle.

Once an applicant with a learner's permit reaches his 17th birthdate, that applicant is eligible for full licensure provided he passes the road skills test.

The following qualifications must be met in order to obtain the learner's license:

1. Must successfully complete an approved driver education course approved by the Department of Education or the Department of Public Safety &
Corrections consisting of a minimum of thirty (30) hours classroom training and six (6) hours of on-the-road training.

2. Must pass a written examination and a vision examination at the Office of Motor Vehicles.

Note: Upon successful completion of the written and skills test or completion of the Harley Davidson Rider's Edge New Rider Course (Approved by the Department of Education; course locations are in Shreveport and Baton Rouge.) or the "Motorcycle Safety Awareness and Operators Training Program."
A motorcycle endorsement may be placed on a Class "E" learner's permit; however, the person will be restricted to operating within a distance of three miles from the applicant's residence unless a parent, tutor, or other person having custody is temporarily staying or residing at another location where in the applicant would be restricted to operating within three miles of that location.

Class E Intermediate License
Age Requirement: 16 years of age.
The Class E learner's license may be converted to a Class E intermediate license upon the applicant being at least sixteen years of age and passing the on-road driving test, provided that the applicant has held the license for at least one hundred eighty days if he is not yet seventeen years of age. The intermediate license shall restrict those under the age of seventeen from driving between 11:00 pm and 5:00 am unless otherwise accompanied by a licensed parent or guardian, by a licensed adult at least twenty-one years of age, or by a licensed sibling at least eighteen years of age. In addition to the licensed parent, sibling, guardian or adult, there may be other members of the permit holder's immediate family in the vehicle and when accompanied by a driver's education teacher there may be one or more fellow driver's education students in the vehicle.

Note: A custodial parent's signature will always be required at any time a license is upgraded to a higher class. In the case where joint custody has been awarded, only the domiciliary parent may sign. Exceptions to this rule are those minors who are married or who have been emancipated.

EXCEPTION TO Graduated Licensing Program: Any applicant at least sixteen (16) years of age, but less than seventeen (17) years of age, moving to Louisiana from another state shall be eligible for the issuance of a Class E intermediate driver's license provided such applicant meets all other requirements for licensure in Louisiana if proof of issuance of a driver's license or learner's license for a minimum of 180 days from the state of previous residence is provided. The proof of driver’s education will not be required as this applicant will not be considered a "first time" applicant. Any Class E Learner's Permit issued prior to 9/1/04 will be grandfathered from the 180 days."
