In one night, I learnt more about riding motorcycle in China from Shanghai Motorcycle Group than the whole two years I had been here.
It is true, nothing is easy in China, especially for a foreigner who is used to systematic, orderly way go getting things done.
If you are looking for information about getting a motorcycle license, getting a motorcycle, getting a Chang Jiang, join this group.
Here’s what I learnt about getting a D-license in Shanghai for motorcycle. (All foreign licenses are not valid)
- Required documents:
- Valid Z visa for a year or more
- Valid license from your country
- Passport
- Procedure:
- Get your foreign license translated to Chinese
- Copies of document
- Go to Shanghai Vehicle Management Bureau (上海市公安局交巡警总队车辆管理所大柏树考试场)
1101 Zhong Shan Bei Yi Lu (1101中山北一路) - Fill a form, take a digital photo
- Take a road theory test
- Produce a medical test result
- Pay a fee
Should be straight forward if you have all the valid documents but be prepared for the unexpected.

Steve,
How has your journey to get licensed been? Have you made a purchase yet? I am in the same boat. Would like to connect and hear your experience. Ryan
Hey Steve.
It seems still active.
Could we start a thread here?
I’m in Shanghai, and getting my license for motorcycle in the next weeks.
I’m on the hunt for a second hand motorcycle.
I have two major questions, if anyone could help on that it would be great:
Where can I buy a second hand moto 250cc + legal plate in Shanghai?
Can the moto be changed to a newer one keeping the same plate?
Hi I would like to join the thread too…
my question:
Is it true that the plates cost a fortune and that now you cant fill up at the gas station without a plate??
a rumour i heard…
Me; a brit looking to buy a bike and get the d license also…
