Indiana teen driving log
Indiana Driving Log for Teen Permit Hours
Indiana teen drivers generally need 50 hours of supervised driving, including at least 10 hours at night, before moving toward licensure.
Indiana also asks families to present the official Log of Supervised Driving Practice (State Form 54706) at license application.
Clocked helps families record drives, track night hours, and keep an organized practice record. Families should still complete and use the official Indiana process and forms.

Indiana supervised driving requirements
Indiana teen drivers generally need 50 hours of supervised driving before moving toward a probationary license. At least 10 of those hours must be at night. There is no separate highway or freeway hour requirement identified in the Indiana sources reviewed.
The learner's permit age depends on driver training. A teen may qualify at 15 if enrolled in an approved behind-the-wheel training course; otherwise the minimum permit age is 16. For drivers under 18, the permit is generally held for 180 days before probationary-license eligibility, where applicable.
Clocked is designed around that exact parent workflow:
- Log each supervised practice drive
- Track total hours toward 50
- Track night hours toward 10
- Keep progress organized on one screen
- Export a clean summary for family records

Does Indiana require an official driving log?
Yes. Indiana asks families to present the official Log of Supervised Driving Practice, State Form 54706, at license application. This is the state-provided form for recording supervised practice hours.
Clocked can help families track drives and keep a clean running record as practice happens, but it is not an official government form. A Clocked record does not replace State Form 54706 and does not guarantee BMV acceptance.
Families should still complete and present the official Indiana form if required, and should confirm the current form and process directly with the Indiana BMV.
Tired of rebuilding the record later? Track each Indiana practice drive in Clocked as soon as it happens.

Before applying
As your teen gets close to applying, it helps to double-check the details rather than assume:
- Confirm the teen has reached 50 total supervised hours, including 10 at night.
- Complete the official State Form 54706 if it is required for the application.
- Confirm the permit has been held long enough for the teen's situation.
- Verify the current forms, fees, and steps with the Indiana BMV before scheduling.
This page is a general summary, not legal advice. Requirements can change, and individual situations vary, so families should verify current Indiana BMV requirements before applying.
Families may also want a written agreement before practice drives. Clocked offers a free parent-teen driving agreement template to help parents and teens set expectations around phones, passengers, night driving, and safe rides.
