What Montana requires
In Montana, a learner permit is available starting at age 14 (and six months with driver education; 15 without). Montana requires 50–75 hours of supervised driving, including 10–15 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 Montana, so it's worth starting the log early.
A parent or guardian certifies the completed hours on Form 21-1600, the Graduated Driver Licensing Certification; the Practice Driving Log is the record behind that certification. There's no trip log to submit. Learner Log generates a print-ready Practice Driving Log filled in from your logged drives, ready to keep and certify from. No hand-copying a paper tally.

Questions about Montana requirements
Does Learner Log create my Practice Driving Log?
Yes. Once you've logged your hours, the export generates a print-ready Practice Driving Log filled in from your logged drives.
Do I submit this log to Montana?
No. A parent or guardian certifies your completed hours on Form 21-1600, the Graduated Driver Licensing Certification; the Practice Driving Log is the record you keep and certify from, with no trip log to turn in.
How many of the hours have to be at night?
Montana requires 10–15 hours at night. Learner Log tracks daytime and nighttime minutes separately, so your night total is always current.
How long must the Montana permit be held?
The configured Montana licensing path requires the permit to be held for at least 6 months. Confirm the current timing with the licensing agency before applying.
