What Maryland requires

In Maryland, a learner permit is available starting at age 15 (9 months after turning 15). Maryland requires 14–60 hours of supervised driving, including 3–10 at night before a teen can finish the supervised-driving stage of licensing.

The learner permit also has to be held for at least 9 months before a teen can move up to the next license stage in Maryland, so it's worth starting the log early.

The completed log is submitted on the New Driver & Coach Practice Guide (RD-006). Learner Log generates a print-ready New Driver & Coach Practice Guide (RD-006) filled in from your logged drives, ready to submit. No hand-copying a paper tally.

✓ Requirements verified on July 17, 2026 against Maryland's official DMV source.

  2. Build toward Maryland's requirement of 14–60 hours of supervised driving, including 3–10 at night.
  3. Hold the permit the required 9 months — start logging early so the hours are finished by the time Maryland's waiting period is up.
  4. Generate the print-ready New Driver & Coach Practice Guide (RD-006) straight from your logged drives — no hand-copying a paper tally.
  5. The New Driver & Coach Practice Guide (RD-006) is signed by a parent, guardian, mentor or coach. Submit it when you apply for the next license stage with Maryland's licensing agency.
