I should move, in the near future from Ohio to North Carolina. I'm expecting having to do again the drivers testing in order to get a driver liscense from NC, but what happens to the "M" printed in my Ohio liscence? :?:
Should I do again the testing for riding in North Carolina?

I do a lot of moving and almost never change my drivers liscense. My liscense plates (the more expensive) get changed though.
I never get pulled over

Most states have a direct transfer where whatever endorsements you have will be accepted as is.

True.

A friend had his endorsement in Washington, he moved to Wisconsin and they transfered it to his Wisconsin License.

endorsement

North Carolina requires a written test for both the drivers license and the motorcycle endorsement ( two tests ) Road test at the discretion of the examiner.

According to the NC-DMV, they accept out of state MC endorsements. The only two states as of 2002 that did not was New Jersey and Rhode Island. That isn't to say that they won't require written tests.

Just make sure that they notice the M endorcement on your license. My dad lost his endorcement years ago because the lady at the counter didn't notice it...and neither did he. And he didn't move...just renewed his license.

Good luck on your move.

That happened to my friend from Washington.

He walked out the door of the DMV and came back in right away and noticed his "M" was gone. The lady at the DMV said she didnt put it on the License cause she didnt think he wanted it, needless to say the DMV Manager got involved in this case and my friend left with a "M" on his license.

Just make sure that they notice the M endorcement on your license. My dad lost his endorcement years ago because the lady at the counter didn't notice it...and neither did he. And he didn't move...just renewed his license.

Good luck on your move.

Same thing happened to me. I had it years ago and lost it. I'm not even sure when I lost it, I've moved to a couple states over the years that I wasn't riding. I never even really thought of it till I decided to get a bike again. Oh well...

I've had my Motorcycle Endorsement since 1973 and I always make sure it gets updated everytime I renew my license.

It's very easy to any kind of lic in NC, we've been in the news lots over the past few years for letting every tom dick and harry have one.

Group of Illegals from NJ were even running charter busses to NC so their "clients" could get a ligit drivers lic.

I wouldn't expect for you to have much trouble making a transfer.

NC MC endorsment

Having just moved to NC,You will have to take only the written tests for your drivers and MC endorsment (two seperate tests ) Books are available at the DMV

I am another one that lost my M endorsement and my chauffeurs license I had for years during a move. I had to do everything all over again this summer and get my M endorsement by writing a test and taking a road test.
Since I no longer drive ambulances or funeral home cars I let the C endorsement go.

Be sure you make the examiner aware that you have an M endorsement and that you want to carry that onto your new license.

Good luck and congrats on the move.

+1

I've had mine since 1981 and it kept updating/renewing/transferring to every state I have lived in when I was in the USCG.

I too, had mine deleted off my license years back. The lady said "I didn't think you wanted to renew it, you didnt ask." Assumption is the mother of all f***ups, IMO.

That's not an assumption; it's a cover-up for her mistake.

Here in Texas everytime I've renewed my DL they've asked if I want to keep my "M". I've never had to point it out to them.

Here in MI, I've always reminded them that I want to keep it and the response has been "Of course. I knew that." or something similar.
