How to Renew a 50 Hour Sheet

A licensed driver must accompany teens who are completing the 50-hour driving requirement.

Every state has a Department of Motor Vehicles (or DMV) that issues driver's permits and licenses. New drivers must take a driver's education course, undergo a vision exam and pass a written test. In addition, new drivers must practice driving. In some states, 50 hours of behind-the-wheel driving experience is required. The 50 hours are documented on what is called a 50-hour sheet or drive time log sheet. After meeting all the requirements, you will receive a driver's permit.

Instructions

1. Visit your local Department of Motor Vehicles. Fill out a renewal application. If you are under 18-years-old, make sure a parent or guardian goes with you. Your parent or guardian must sign a financial responsibility statement.

2. Retake the driver's written test. You retake the written test if your driver's permit has been expired for more than 30 days.

3. Provide proof of your identity. This is required when your permit has expired for 1 year or more. Examples of documents that prove your identity include your birth certificate, Social Security card, W-2 form or passport.

Tips & Warnings

• A driver's permit is also referred to as a learner's permit.

• A driver's permit is generally valid for 1 year.

• The renewal requirements may vary by state. Check your state's requirements.

• There are fees for the permit renewal and the written test. The fees may also vary from state to state. Check your state's requirements.
