Mississippi driving log rules

In Mississippi, a parent signs for the hours at the license office or the driving school. There is nothing to print at home.

50hours in total

In the state's own words

“if you are under 17 you must provide an affidavit for Road Test Waiver whereby a parent, teacher, or guardian has certified that he or she has witnessed you operate a motor vehicle for at least fifty hours and attest to your proficiency in the proper and safe operation of a motor vehicle”

What this means for you

The Waiver of Road-Testing Affidavit is the parent's sworn statement that the teen drove at least 50 hours. It is sworn before Driver Service Bureau staff, so it is completed at the counter. No log is named.
