General Work Permits 

Minors seeking a General Work Permit during the academic year must contact their school of attendance first to determine if their school is issuing work permits. If the work permit cannot be obtained from the home school site, the Work Experience Education Office may assist. 

Work permits can only be issued to the minor who is seeking the work permit (the minor MUST be present). Before visiting the Work Experience Education Office for a General Work Permit, the minor MUST present the documents below: 

• Statement of Intent to Employ a Minor and Request for a Work Permit - Certificate of Age B1-1 Rev 02-14:  Must be completed in full and signed with a wet signature by the student, parent, and employer. (Students should NOT email this form to and from the employer. You are jeopardizing your personal information by being exposed to hackers. (Download Form HERE)

• School Authorization Letter from the student's home school. This includes students attending City of Angels, Virtual Academies, and non-LAUSD schools. (Download Template HERE). Minors who have graduated must present an original diploma or official transcript.

• Current Photo ID: Current Government ID or Passport, or Photo School ID. If the birthdate is not printed on the School ID, the student must also present the Certificate of Birth.
