Hawaii Driving Log for Supervised Practice Hours
Hawaii does not set a separate fixed total of parent-supervised practice hours. Instead, state law requires an instruction permit held at least 180 days and a state-certified driver-education program and behind-the-wheel training course.
The classroom and behind-the-wheel completion certificates come from that certified course — they are different from a personal record of your own practice drives. Licensing is administered by the county examiner offices, but the core requirements come from state law (HRS chapter 286).
No separate hours total does not mean practice is unnecessary — supervised driving is still how new drivers get ready. Clocked helps Hawaii families keep a personal record of completed drives. Always confirm current requirements with your county examiner office.

Quick answer
Here is the short version for Hawaii families:
| Requirement | Hawaii rule |
|---|---|
| Fixed supervised-hours minimum | No separate total specified in state law |
| Instruction permit held | At least 180 days |
| Required course | State-certified driver education + behind-the-wheel training |
| Documentation | Classroom & behind-the-wheel certificates (not a personal hours log) |
| Supervising adult | Licensed driver 21+ (parent/guardian 11 p.m.–5 a.m.) |
| Administered by | County examiner offices, under state law (HRS ch. 286) |
Source note: Under HRS §286-102.6 and §286-108, a provisional-license applicant under 18 must hold an instruction permit at least 180 days and complete a certified driver-education program and behind-the-wheel training course; no separate supervised-hours total is specified. Hawaii Revised Statutes §286-102.6
What Hawaii requires
Under HRS §286-102.6, a person 16–17 may receive a provisional license after holding an instruction permit for at least 180 days and satisfactorily completing the requirements of §286-108 and §286-109. Section 286-108 requires proof of a completed driver-education program and a behind-the-wheel driver-training course certified by the director of transportation.
Hawaii law does not specify a separate fixed number of parent-supervised practice hours. That is different from many mainland states — but it does not make practice optional. Confirm the current steps with your county examiner office.

Certificates vs. a personal practice record
The classroom and behind-the-wheel certificates are issued by the state-certified course. They are the documentation Hawaii's process is built around — not a drive-by-drive log of your own family practice.
Clocked is a separate personal tracker. It does not replace the driver-education or behind-the-wheel certificates and does not submit anything to the state. It simply helps families keep their own record of completed drives during the permit period.
Keep your own practice record during the 180-day permit. Track each Hawaii drive in Clocked as soon as it happens.

Clocked is a personal driving-log tool, not an official government form. It does not replace Hawaii's certified driver-education or behind-the-wheel certificates or any county process, and it is not endorsed by or affiliated with the Hawaii Department of Transportation or the county examiner offices.
Clocked is a private tracking helper
Most Hawaii families just want a simple, reliable record of each completed practice drive:
- Date of the drive
- Start and end time
- Total minutes and hours logged
- Whether the practice was during the day or at night
Clocked keeps that private record for your own family reference. It is not affiliated with the Hawaii DOT or county examiner offices, is not an official state form, does not submit anything to the state, and does not guarantee licensing eligibility or compliance. Check current requirements with your county examiner office before applying for a provisional license.
