What Arizona requires
In Arizona, a learner permit is available starting at age 15 (6 months after turning 15). Arizona requires up to 30 hours of supervised driving, including up to 10 at night before a teen can finish the supervised-driving stage of licensing.
Arizona has three paths: 30 supervised hours including 10 at night; 20 including 6 at night with a traffic survival or approved defensive driving course; or an MVD-approved high-school/private driver education program with proof provided within twelve months, which replaces the separate practice-hours requirement.
The learner permit also has to be held for at least 6 months before a teen can move up to the next license stage in Arizona, so it's worth starting the log early.
A parent or guardian certifies the completed hours on the Driving Practice Certificate (96-0223). There's no trip log to submit.

Completing your Arizona supervised-driving log, step by step
From your first supervised drive to a completed Arizona log — the workflow, in order.
- Log every supervised drive as you go — Learner Log records each drive's date, length, and day-or-night split for you.
- Build toward Arizona's requirement of up to 30 hours of supervised driving, including up to 10 at night.
- Hold the permit the required 6 months — start logging early so the hours are finished by the time Arizona's waiting period is up.
- Get the Driving Practice Certificate (96-0223) from Arizona's licensing agency and complete it using your tracked totals — Learner Log keeps the running hours, so you certify against a finished number instead of re-adding a paper tally.
- Have a parent or guardian certify the completed hours on the Driving Practice Certificate (96-0223) — there's no trip log to turn in.
