How to log the hours in Virginia
Use the 45-Hour Driving Log from the Parent/Teen Driving Guide, which is typically sent to the DMV by the driver-ed school. Homeschooled students use Form HS-2/HS-3.
The state publishes its own log or affidavit, and that is the paper it expects at the licensing office.
