Ohio driving log form
Ohio has its own driving log, BMV 5791. You fill in a row for each drive and turn it in.
In the state's own words
“record practice driving sessions in the Supervised Driving Log section, and bring the completed form to your Driving Test appointment.”
“Each person under twenty-one years of age applying for a driver's license also shall present, on a form prescribed by the registrar, an affidavit signed by an eligible adult attesting that the person has acquired at least fifty hours of actual driving experience, with at least ten of those hours being at night.”
“The eligible adult identified above personally appeared before me and attested that the temporary permit holder has truthfully recorded in the Supervised Driving Log section the completion of at least fifty (50) hours of actual driving experience.”
“Supervised driving hours may be documented manually by filling in the log included or by using the RoadReady Ohio App.”
Checked on the state's own website on October 18, 2026. Rules change, so confirm with your DMV before your appointment.
