OPNAVINST 5100.12H requires all military personnel who operate a motorcycle on or off base, and all DOD civilian personnel who operate a motorcycle on base, to attend a COMNAVSAFECEN approved motorcycle rider safety course. Proof of this course, proof of insurance, vehicle registration, and a valid driver’s license is required before a base decal will be issued. Recertification training is now required every three years. Those registered with the Navy Enterprise Safety Application Management (ESAMS) can register through that site.
