New Jersey driving log form
New Jersey asks a parent to sign BA-CSD for the hours. It has no row for each drive, so keep your own log.
In the state's own words
“While teen and young drivers are encouraged to use the driving log in the Share the Keys Resource Guide to track their hours, only the submission of a signed Certification of Supervised Driving (NJMVC Form BA-CSD) will meet the supervised practice hours requirement.”
“An applicant for a probationary driver license who has a special learner’s permit, or who is under the age of 21 and has an examination permit, must have driven a minimum of 50 hours with supervision, including 10 hours during darkness.”
“The requirement to complete 50 hours of practice driving and submit a Certification of Supervised Driving is not effective for any holder of a permit that was issued prior to February 1, 2025.”
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
BA-CSD is a fixed statement that the teen drove at least 50 hours, 10 in darkness. The parent or supervising driver prints, signs and dates it by hand before the visit. The MVC says no log is required.
