NOW BACK for 2026! You can apply for or renew your Midwestern Council Competition License in just a few keystrokes on MotorsportReg! All MC comp licenses require a Midwestern Council membership and a current Medical form before issuing, so please renew or join one of the seven MC clubs to avoid delays. (To renew with your club, please go to https://www.motorsportreg.com/calendar/, then Search for “MC")

The 2026 MC Medical form is available here: 2026 Medical Form.pdf. We also accept SCCA and FAA medicals. You can upload the completed medical on the next page: a cell phone photo is the easiest method.

When you apply for a License on MSR, your information is immediately sent to the MC Licensing Director. He will confirm that you are a 2026 club member, have submitted a current Medical and meet the Licensing requirements. For example, a renewal generally requires that you raced with us at least once in the previous year.

There are several types of MC Competition Licenses:

A Full Competition License is the most common. It entitles you to all racing privileges and accumulation of MC Championship Points, and is also accepted by SCCA for regional race entries. Either a previous MC Drivers School and at least three successful races; OR an SCCA, NASA or ACC L1 or L2 license are required to qualify.
An Instructor License is for Comp License holders who are also approved wheel-to-wheel Instructors.
If you have an MC Novice License and have not yet upgraded to Full Comp, you need a Novice Renewal for the 2026 season. Available only to current Novice license holders.
A Provisional License can be issued to an experienced driver who has not raced in the past few years. A summary of your racing resume should be attached to your application, along with a current Medical Form.
A Probationary License Renewal is only issued to license-holders who are currently on probation with MC for past infractions.
An Endurance Racing Permit allows you to compete in any Midwestern Council Enduro series without going through a formal school, based on your past experience. A summary of your racing resume should be attached to your application, along with a current Medical Form.

NOTE: There is now an increased $40 late fee for all license applications after March 1 except +$10 for Provisional renewal. Please please please renew early: save yourself, the Licensing Director and our all-volunteer event staff a lot of hoop-jumping. Don't be that guy who sends in a renewal the week of a race and expects to go racing. You will be disappointed! NO licenses will be issued less than ten days before a race.

Your license will be mailed to you as soon as the Licensing Director has verified eligibility requirements and your current Medical. Please be sure your mailing address is correct in your MSR profile. The License Credential is also stored online and is available to all event Registrars for confirmation.

If desired, you may also request a Midwestern Council Permanent Number in the license form. Numbers are first-come, first-served and subject to availability. The currently-assigned Permanent Numbers are available here so you can choose an open number for your race group, please give a first and second choice as this list changes often. Please be sure to include the class requested as well. If you have permanent numbers that are no longer needed please let the licensing director know. MC_Perm_Numbers_12-28-25.pdf

We regret that mailed applications can no longer be accepted. All licensing must be done electronically via MotorsportReg.
