I forgot my password. How do I reset it?

What are the Illinois driving hour requirements?

Based on our best understanding, Illinois requires student drivers to complete 50 total hours of supervised driving practice, including at least 10 hours at night, before taking the road test.

Important: Requirements can change. Always verify the current rules with the Illinois Secretary of State before relying on this information for any official purpose. Use this app at your own risk.

How do I add a student?

  1. Sign in to your parent account.
  2. From the dashboard, click Add Student.
  3. Enter the student's name and a login email and password for their account.
  4. Click Add Student to save.

The student can then log in separately with their own credentials to view their hours.

How do I switch between students?

If you have more than one student, a student selector appears in the top navigation bar. Click it to switch — the dashboard and trip log will update to show the selected student's data.
