What do I need to do to get an F endorsement on License?

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Submit a Medical Examination Report
   If transporting passengers, a medical exam may be required (especially for commercial-type endorsements).
4. Get a Background Check
   Often required for anyone transporting the public, especially if children are involved (e.g. school buses).
5. Pass a Written Knowledge Test
   The written exam covers:
   • Passenger safety
   • Rules for transporting people
   • Emergency procedures
   • Vehicle inspection
6. Pass a Road/Skills Test (in some cases)
   Especially if you’re operating larger or more complex vehicles.
7. Pay the Application and Endorsement Fee
   Fees vary by state.
