How to Obtain a Work Permit Online (NEW in May 2023)

Starting in May 2023, the Department of Workforce Development has developed and launched a new online Work Permit Application Tool.  The online system is available to the parents of minors 24 hours a day/7 days a week from a computer, table, smartphone or similar device.  The application improves accessibility and eliminates the difficult logistics involved with obtaining a permit.

The application is LIVE now!  A parent can access the site using these instructions.  Payment is made directly to the department through the application, using a credit or debit card of by ACH direct withdrawal.  Once the permit application process is complete, the Department mails a paper copy of the permit directly to the employer.
