Missouri driving log rules
In Missouri, a parent signs for the hours at the license office or the driving school. There is nothing to print at home.
In the state's own words
“You (the licensed parent, legal guardian or a certified instructor with a Federal Residential Job Training Program) must accompany the teen to the license office and sign the application for intermediate license, certifying that the teen has received a minimum of 40 hours of behind the wheel instruction with a minimum of 10 hours nighttime driving between sunset and sunrise.”
“Teen must have completed 40 hours of behind- the-wheel instruction which included a minimum of 10 hours nighttime driving.”
“This is simply a tool for you and your new driver, and does not need to be submitted to the Department of Revenue at the time of licensing.”
Checked on the state's own website on October 18, 2026. Rules change, so confirm with your DMV before your appointment.
What this means for you
Missouri does not collect a log. The parent comes to the license office and signs the license application, which certifies the 40 hours, 10 at night. Form 4901 is an optional log.
