What Minnesota requires

In Minnesota, a learner permit is available starting at age 15 (with driver education). Minnesota requires 40–50 hours of supervised driving, including 15 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 Minnesota, so it's worth starting the log early.

The completed log is submitted on the Supervised Driving Log. Learner Log generates a print-ready Supervised Driving Log filled in from your logged drives, ready to submit. No hand-copying a paper tally.

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

Completing your Minnesota supervised-driving log, step by step

From your first supervised drive to a completed Minnesota log — the workflow, in order.

  1. Log every supervised drive as you go — Learner Log records each drive's date, length, and day-or-night split for you.
  2. Build toward Minnesota's requirement of 40–50 hours of supervised driving, including 15 at night.
  3. Hold the permit the required 6 months — start logging early so the hours are finished by the time Minnesota's waiting period is up.
  4. Generate the print-ready Supervised Driving Log straight from your logged drives — no hand-copying a paper tally.
  5. The Supervised Driving Log is signed by the parent or guardian who supervised most of the hours. Submit it when you apply for the next license stage with Minnesota's licensing agency.

How many of the hours have to be at night?

Minnesota requires 15 hours at night. Learner Log tracks daytime and nighttime minutes separately, so your night total is always current.
