Complete Your Practical Assessment with Territory Motorcycle Training (TMT)
If you're an overseas rider planning to stay in the Northern Territory (NT) and need to transfer your motorcycle licence, Territory Motorcycle Training (TMT) is here to help.
We’re an accredited motorycle licence course provider authorised to conduct the motorcycle practical assessment required by the Motor Vehicle Registry (MVR) for your overseas licence transfer process. Your assessments are conducted from our private rider training facility in Darwin and surrounding roads, and include free motorcycle or scooter and helmet hire. Manual and automatic options are available at no charge.
What do you need to do to get ready for your Practical Assessment and Overseas Motorcycle Licence Transfer to NT?
If you hold a foreign or overseas motorcycle licence that is not directly recognised under Australia’s licence equivalency agreements, the NT MVR requires you to:
- Complete a multiple-choice motorcycle theory test, and
- Be granted an interim licence by the MVR, and
- Complete a practical riding assessment (the practical session, comprised of a series of activities (tests) you will do with us).
Please ensure you have submitted your application with the MVR and completed the theory test, to be granted your interim approval, before attending your practical assessment with us.
If you are unsure about your eligibility or interim approval status, contact the NT MVR directly before booking.
