What New Mexico requires

In New Mexico, a learner permit is available starting at age 15 (with driver education). New Mexico requires 50 hours of supervised driving, including 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 6 months before a teen can move up to the next license stage in New Mexico, so it's worth starting the log early.

The completed log is submitted as your own record — New Mexico prescribes no particular form. Learner Log generates a print-ready Supervised Driving Log filled in from your logged drives, ready to submit. No hand-copying a paper tally.

Completing your New Mexico supervised-driving log, step by step

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

  2. Build toward New Mexico's requirement of 50 hours of supervised driving, including 10 at night.
  3. Hold the permit the required 6 months — start logging early so the hours are finished by the time New Mexico'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 a parent or guardian. Submit it when you apply for the next license stage with New Mexico's licensing agency.
