Work Permit Information

  • To receive a work permit, students must be attending school regularly and have 2.0 GPA. 

    To check guidelines for work permits and allowable hours, please visit the CDE Work Permits for Students website

    New to the work world? Make sure to review Information for New Workers in California, and know your rights.

    The first step is to find a job. It is a great idea to bring this form with you to an interview and demonstrate your eagerness to get started!

    You may download the form here, or pick it up from your school: 

    • Statement of Intent to Employ a Minor and Request for a Work Permit-Certificate of Age CDE Form B1-1(DOC)

    Once you have your employer fill out the form, and a parent/guardian signs off, please bring the form to your school so they may issue the work permit. Work permits are valid for one school year, and therefore have to be renewed each August.
