The Pennsylvania Child Labor Law requires children ages 14 through 17 to obtain working papers (also called a work permit) before they can start working.
STEP 1: Prepare the two documents that you need to get your work permit.
Document 1: First is the Application for Work Permit. You can download it and fill it out digitally, or print it out.
Kindly fill out everything except for “Signature of Issuing Officer” and the fields on the top right.
Have it signed by your parent or guardian, in the box at the bottom left. This part is really important, because we won’t accept unsigned applications.
Document 2: The second document is your Proof of Age. The following can be used as proof of age:
Birth certificate (copies are acceptable)
State ID or driver’s license
Passport
Baptismal certificate
Student ID card that has a date of birth on it
Medical insurance card that has a date of birth on it
STEP 2: Apply for a working permit (don’t forget to bring your 2 documents listed above)
In-person – Walk-ins only; no appointment necessary. You only need to bring yourself, your printed, completed application, and your proof of age document. It is optional for your parent or guardian to come with you. If you don’t have a printer, we have blank applications on site. Your parent or guardian will need to come with you so they can sign it.
