Before you ride on public roads

  • Your motorcycle's registration documents and valid insurance.
  • Your helmet, which is required for rider and passenger.

Always check the official source

Requirements, fees and procedures change. Confirm the current process on the FRSC website or at an FRSC office before you apply.
