What Hawaii requires
In Hawaii, a learner permit is available starting at age 15 (and six months). Hawaii requires 50 hours of supervised driving, including 40 in daylight and 10 at night before a teen can finish the supervised-driving stage of licensing.
For a car license before age 18, Hawaii requires a notarized parent or guardian statement confirming 40 daytime and 10 nighttime hours with a licensed driver over 18. Give the statement to the driver education instructor before the behind-the-wheel completion certificate is issued; it is separate from the instructor-led training. Hold the instruction permit for at least 180 days and be at least 16 before provisional licensing.
A parent or guardian certifies the completed hours. There's no trip log to submit.

Hawaii requires 40 of the 50 hours in daylight. Learner Log tracks daytime and nighttime minutes separately, so your daytime total is always current.
