Alaska allows teens to obtain a learner's permit as early as age 14, one of the youngest ages in the nation. Teens must log 40 hours of supervised driving, including 10 at night, and hold the permit for at least 6 months before testing for a provisional license at 16.

Meeting Alaska's 40 hours of supervised driving practice can feel overwhelming — especially when you're also juggling school schedules, extracurriculars, and work. DashLog makes it simple by automatically tracking every supervised drive your teen completes. Start a session, drive, and DashLog logs the date, time, duration, and whether it was a daytime or nighttime drive — all mapped against Alaska's specific GDL requirements.
Parents in Alaska get real-time progress dashboards showing exactly how many of the required 40 hours their teen has completed, including a breakdown of 10 hours at night hours. DashLog sends milestone alerts when your teen hits 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of their required hours — so you always know where you stand without manually counting on a paper log. Plus, live location tracking during drives gives parents peace of mind without micromanaging.
When it's time to visit the Alaska DMV, DashLog generates a clean, DMV-ready driving log report that documents every session with dates, times, and total hours. No more scrambling to find a crumpled paper log the night before the test. DashLog is free during our beta — join thousands of Alaska families already tracking their teen's progress.
