Massachusetts driving log rules

Massachusetts has no required log form. Any log works, and a parent certifies the hours.

40hours in total

In the state's own words

“I further certify by my separate signature that the applicant has completed the required number of hours of behind-the-wheel driving by a validly licensed person aged 21 or over, with at least one year of driving experience, in addition to the requirements of the driver education and training program.”

“Complete at least an additional 40 hours of supervised, behind-the-wheel driving as shown by a certified statement by a parent or guardian.”
