Montana driving log form
Montana asks a parent to sign 21-1600 for the hours. It has no row for each drive, so keep your own log.
In the state's own words
“Instructions: Parent/Legal Guardian/Responsible Adult - complete this form and submit it to the Driver Examination Station after the applicant, who is under 18 years of age, has completed the minimum six-month period for holding a traffic education permit or a learner license.”
“has completed 50 hours of supervised driving experience, 10 of which were at night;”
“has successfully completed an alternative traffic education course approved by the department of justice and presents written certification from the person's parent or legal guardian that states the person has had at least 75 hours of driving experience, 15 of which were at night”
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
Form 21-1600 is a one-page certification. The 50 hours, 10 at night, are printed on it, so there is nothing to total. Keep your own log.
