Louisiana teen driving log
Louisiana Driving Log for Teen Permit Hours
Louisiana teen drivers generally need 50 hours of supervised driving, including at least 15 hours at night, while holding a learner's permit before moving toward the next license stage.
Louisiana treats a written supervised-driving log as optional in the requirements reviewed, but the supervised hours themselves still need to happen — and families still need a way to know they added up.
Clocked helps Louisiana families record drives, separate night hours, and keep an organized practice record. Families should still verify Louisiana's current process directly with the Louisiana OMV.

Louisiana supervised driving requirements
Louisiana teen drivers generally need 50 hours of supervised driving before moving toward the next license stage. At least 15 of those hours must be at night. There is no separate highway or freeway hour total identified in the Louisiana data reviewed.
The learner's permit must generally be held for at least 180 days before a teen can move to an intermediate license. The minimum age to apply is not included in the data source reviewed here — families should confirm current age thresholds directly with the Louisiana OMV.
Clocked is designed around that exact parent workflow:
- Log each supervised practice drive
- Track total hours toward 50
- Track night hours toward 15
- Keep progress organized on one screen
- Export a clean summary for family records
Do Louisiana families need a driving log?
A written supervised-driving log is treated as optional in the Louisiana requirements reviewed. That said, Louisiana still expects supervised practice hours, including night hours, to actually happen — so families still need a reliable way to know those hours added up before applying for the next license stage.
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 any Louisiana OMV process, driver-education requirement, or official certification, and Clocked is not endorsed by the Louisiana OMV or the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles.
Families should confirm the current forms, ages, and steps directly with the Louisiana OMV.

Before applying for an intermediate license
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 15 at night.
- Confirm the learner's permit has been held at least 180 days.
- Confirm the current minimum age, driver-education, and testing requirements with the Louisiana OMV.
- Verify the current forms, fees, and steps with the Louisiana OMV before scheduling.
This page is a general summary, not legal advice. Requirements can change, and individual situations vary, so families should verify current Louisiana OMV 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.
