Virginia requires 45 hours of supervised driving, including 15 at night.
At least 15 of the 45 hours must be driven at night. FirstGear splits each drive into day and night automatically using local sunset and sunrise.
The learner's permit must be held for at least 9 months before moving to the next license stage. FirstGear counts this down from your permit issue date.
Virginia DMV 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 Virginia DMV for the exact form it wants.
