What do I need to do to get an F endorsement on License?
- Check Your State’s DMV/DOJ Requirements
Requirements vary! For example:- In California, an “F” endorsement is for driving vehicles with 10–15 passengers, including the driver.
- In New York, it allows you to operate vehicles like taxis or liveries.
- Have the Right Base License
Usually, you’ll need a Class C license (non-commercial) or possibly a commercial driver’s license (CDL) depending on vehicle type and passenger count. - Submit a Medical Examination Report
If transporting passengers, a medical exam may be required (especially for commercial-type endorsements). - Get a Background Check
Often required for anyone transporting the public, especially if children are involved (e.g. school buses). - Pass a Written Knowledge Test
The written exam covers:- Passenger safety
- Rules for transporting people
- Emergency procedures
- Vehicle inspection
- Pass a Road/Skills Test (in some cases)
Especially if you’re operating larger or more complex vehicles. - Pay the Application and Endorsement Fee
Fees vary by state.
