The BMV 50-Hour Affidavit and BMV 24-Hour Affidavit are forms required by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, most commonly for teen or new drivers applying for a driver’s license.

These affidavits confirm that the applicant has completed the required number of supervised driving hours—either 50 or 24—while accompanied by a properly licensed adult. This requirement helps ensure that new drivers have adequate hands-on experience before receiving full driving privileges.

Because BMV regulations and documentation requirements can change, it’s important to review the most current guidelines issued by the Ohio BMV. The affidavit must typically be signed by both the supervising driver and the applicant, certifying that the practice hours have been completed truthfully.

For fast and convenient notarization, a notary public in Ohio can assist with notarizing your 50-hour or 24-hour affidavit to ensure it meets all state requirements.
