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.
