Alaska permit driving hours: 40 hours, 10 at night
Teens in Alaska need 40 hours of supervised driving before a provisional license. Ten of those hours must be at night or in challenging conditions such as bad weather. There is no single numbered state form, so families keep their own log.

How to log the hours in Alaska
Alaska does not use one numbered log form. Keep a parent-kept log of all 40 hours, marking which ones were at night or in challenging conditions.
The state asks for a record of the hours but does not require a particular form: a printed app log or any written log works.
