NYS R endorsement

[Rzamot]

Hello everyone,

Today I went to my local DMV office in Flushing Queens NY to get an R endorsement. I arrived at 3:47 PM. My number didn’t get called until around 5:35 PM. I spent the next 35 minutes trying to explain to the person behind the counter and her Supervisor about the R endorsement. The Supervisor kept insisting I needed a CDL to get an R endorsement. She then made a call to someone who told her yes, I can get an R endorsement with my class D license. After several attempts trying to figure out how to get it on the computer she gave up and told me I needed to come back in the morning when she could call Albany. I’m going to try the DMV office in Hauppauge Long Island on my next day off.

What exactly does one walk out with after successfully obtaining an R endorsement from the DMV? The Supervisor wasn’t sure if it was a permit I needed.
