    1. Proof of Age (Birth or baptismal certificate, Wisconsin ID card or Wisconsin driver's license)
    2. Employer's written intent to hire, including job duties to be performed and the hours and time of day to be worked
    3. Parent/guardian written consent
    4. Social Security card
    5. Payment of $10 permit fee, to be reimbursed to the minor no later than the minor's first paycheck.

    Work Permit/s

    A work permit is required before anyone under the age of 18 is allowed to work in any job with the exception of agriculture or domestic service work. Employers must have a work permit on file for the minor being employed before they may allow the minor to begin work. Work permits are issued at various locations throughout the state. You may apply for a work permit at your school office or call (608) 266-6860 for information on where in your area you may apply for a work permit. The permit will not be issued if the work is prohibited by law.

    To obtain a work permit, the minor or parent must visit the permit officer, taking with them the minor's birth certificate or other proof of age, social security card, hiring statement from the employer, explaining job duties, hours of work, written parents consent and a $10.00 fee. We may accept a valid operator’s license or an identification card issued by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation as proof of a minor’s age. This means that we may now accept either a duly attested birth certificate, a verified baptismal certificate, or a driver’s license or photo ID card issued by the Department of Transportation. The $10.00 fee for the permit must be reimbursed to the minor by the employer at the end of the first pay period. Copies of the permit go to the employer and the minor, in addition to the school district where the minor is enrolled.
