New Hampshire Motorcycle Permit Test Practice

Practice the New Hampshire motorcycle endorsement written test with questions drawn from the official New Hampshire motorcycle operator manual.

The New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) administers driver licensing and testing throughout the state. New Hampshire has a unique system: the state does not issue formal learner's permits, but instead allows supervised practice driving for those 15½ years old. However, to obtain a full driver's license, you must pass a comprehensive written knowledge test consisting of 40 questions. The written test evaluates your knowledge of New Hampshire traffic laws, road signs, safe driving practices, and vehicle operation. New Hampshire's DMV maintains testing facilities at multiple locations and requires applicants to complete the test in person. The state offers testing in three languages: English, French, and Spanish.

About this section of the New Hampshire test

The New Hampshire motorcycle permit costs $30.00. To obtain the permit, applicants must pass a vision test and the motorcycle knowledge test, then receive a 45-day learner's permit. If you pay for a motorcycle learner's permit within a year of applying for your motorcycle license, the $30 permit fee is waived from the motorcycle license fee. The motorcycle endorsement test can also be retaken, with a 10-day waiting period between attempts.
