ISSUANCE OF STUDENT WORK PERMITS

(DURING COVID-19 CRISIS)

Updated: 1/11/21

The Work Experience Education Office remains open to continue to support students seeking General Work Permits (see below for Entertainment Work Permits). General Work Permits may NOT be issued electronically due to the sensitive nature of Personal Identifiable Information (PII). Students seeking a General Work Permit may obtain the permit at the Work Experience Office. However, the student MUST present the following:

• Statement of Intent to Employ a Minor and Request for a Work Permit - Certificate of Age B1-1 form (original signatures from the student, parent, and employer). Students should NOT email this form to and from the employer. You are jeopardizing your personal information being exposed to hackers.
• Photo ID (Government ID, Valid Passport, or Photo School ID: must include the date of birth) 
• Work Permit Authorization Letter from the student's home school on School Letterhead. (The authorization form should be emailed to the school's Work Permit Issuer or Counselor)
• The minor (student) MUST be present to sign the work permit before it may be issued.

Students will need to continue to communicate via email with their Counselor or Work Permit Issuer at the school site to obtain an Authorization Letter. Work permits will not be issued to a student without an authorization letter. 

Entertainment Work Permit Application EWP must be signed and stamped by the minor's Home School. The document may be emailed to the minor's home school administrator or designee for verification of Satisfactory Grades and Attendance. The LAUSD WEE Office CANNOT sign on the school's behalf. 

It is the parent/guardian's responsibility to contact the Entertainment Work Permit office to obtain the legal work permit. Additional information for obtaining an Entertainment Work Permit may be found by visiting the EWP Website: Entertainment Work Permits
