What Connecticut requires
In Connecticut, a learner permit is available starting at age 16. Connecticut requires 40 hours of supervised driving, including 5 at night before a teen can finish the supervised-driving stage of licensing.
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 Connecticut, so it's worth starting the log early.
A parent or guardian certifies the completed hours on the Parent/Guardian Instruction Log. There's no trip log to submit. Learner Log generates a print-ready Parent/Guardian Instruction Log filled in from your logged drives, ready to keep and certify from. No hand-copying a paper tally.

Questions about Connecticut requirements
Does Learner Log create my Parent/Guardian Instruction Log?
Yes. Once you've logged your hours, the export generates a print-ready Parent/Guardian Instruction Log filled in from your logged drives.
Do I submit this log to Connecticut?
No. Connecticut has a parent or guardian certify your completed hours on the Parent/Guardian Instruction Log. Learner Log is your private record for tracking them, with no trip log to turn in.
How many of the hours have to be at night?
Connecticut requires 5 of the 40 hours at night. Learner Log tracks daytime and nighttime minutes separately, so your night total is always current.
How long must the Connecticut permit be held?
The configured Connecticut licensing path requires the permit to be held for at least 6 months. Confirm the current timing with the licensing agency before applying.
