Oregon teen driving log
Oregon Driving Log for Teen Permit Hours
Oregon teen drivers generally need 50 hours of supervised driving with an approved driver education course, or 100 hours without it, while holding an instruction permit before applying for a provisional driver license.
Oregon 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 Oregon families record drives, keep total supervised hours organized, and export a clean summary. Families should still verify Oregon's current process directly with the Oregon DMV.

Oregon supervised driving requirements
Oregon offers two supervised-driving hour paths for teens under 18:
- 50 hours of supervised driving with an approved driver education course, or
- 100 hours of supervised driving without driver education.
The instruction permit must generally be held for at least 6 months before applying for a provisional driver license. A specific required number of night hours is not listed in the Oregon data reviewed here — families should confirm current night-hour, age, and testing details directly with the Oregon DMV.
Clocked is designed around that exact parent workflow:
- Log each supervised practice drive
- Track total hours toward 50 or 100
- Separate night hours as you go, even if not officially required
- Keep progress organized on one screen
- Export a clean summary for family records

Do Oregon families need a driving log?
A written supervised-driving log is treated as optional in the Oregon requirements reviewed. Oregon still expects the supervised hours to actually happen and to be certified when applying — so families still need a reliable way to know those hours added up.
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 Oregon DMV process, driver-education requirement, or parent/guardian certification, and Clocked is not endorsed by the Oregon DMV or Oregon Driver & Motor Vehicle Services.
Families should confirm the current forms, ages, and steps directly with the Oregon DMV.
Tired of rebuilding the record later? Track each Oregon practice drive in Clocked as soon as it happens.

Before applying for a provisional license
As your teen gets close to applying, it helps to double-check the details rather than assume:
- Confirm which hour path applies — 50 hours (with driver education) or 100 hours (without).
- Confirm the instruction permit has been held at least 6 months.
- Confirm the current minimum age, driver-education, and testing requirements with the Oregon DMV.
- Verify the current forms, fees, and steps with the Oregon DMV before scheduling.
This page is a general summary, not legal advice. Requirements can change, and individual situations vary, so families should verify current Oregon DMV 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.
