Applicants 16 or 17 must bring an original birth certificate, and a parent or legal guardian must be present to sign the ASP-33 Financial Responsibility form.

Study the Motorcycle Operator Manual posted by the Arkansas State Police.
Book a 'Driver's License/Motorcycle Instruction Permit Test' appointment at telegov.egov.com/aspdlskills.
Pass the knowledge exam(s) and vision test: the regular non-commercial exam first if you have no Class D license, then the motorcycle exam.

If you are 16 or 17, bring your original birth certificate and a parent or guardian to sign the ASP-33 form.
