identity and two proofs of Michigan residency. For more information, visit
Michigan.gov/SOS.
You must pass vision, knowledge and traffic sign tests to obtain a moped
license. You do not have to pass a driver education course or a driving skills
test.

application. You must give up your moped license if you obtain a regular
operator or chauffeur license.

moped license expires four years from the applicant's last birthday. The four-

other drivers. Use your left arm to signal turns if your moped does not
have electric turn signals.
