You must replace a motorcycle license in Idaho following any event that renders your current motorcycle license lost, stolen or damaged. Failing to do so could result in legal penalties as Idaho law forbids anyone from riding a motorcycle without having a valid license on his or her person. Therefore, it is important to request a replacement license right away as well as familiarize yourself with the duplicate license process in order to be better prepared, should you ever need to submit a request.

In Idaho, a motorcycle license replacement can only be requested in person at a DMV location. However, additional options will be available to you if you are temporarily residing outside of the state. When requesting a duplicate motorcycle license, it is important to ensure that you are able to provide the documents and fees needed to obtain a new license.
