North Dakota requires 50 hours of supervised driving, with no separate night-hour minimum.
North Dakota does not set a separate night-hour minimum within its 50 hours. FirstGear still splits every drive into day and night so you can see both.
The learner's permit must be held for at least 12 months before moving to the next license stage. FirstGear counts this down from your permit issue date.
North Dakota DOT decides what paperwork it accepts, and many states use their own log or certification form signed by a parent or guardian. FirstGear gives you an accurate drive-by-drive record and running totals to complete that form from, plus a PDF you can print. Check with North Dakota DOT for the exact form it wants.
