Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: If I've graduated from high school or turned 18, do I need a work permit?
A: No. Once a minor is no longer subject to the state's compulsory education laws, he/she is not considered a minor for purposes of the state's child labor laws (labor code 1286[c]). Therefore, a high school graduate does not require a permit. Once you turn 18, you are no longer considered a minor and do not need a work permit.

Q: When do work permits expire?
A: Work permits (including those issued in summer) expire in June 2021. If you intend to work over the summer, make sure you renew your permit before the last day of school. 

Q: Is my work permit job specific?
A: YES! Every time you get a new job, you need a new work permit!\
