Work Permits

A work permit is a legal document required by the state of California that allows a person under 18 years of age to hold a job. The issuance of work permits are conditional upon satisfactory school attendance and academic performance. Please follow these steps to obtain an official work permit:

1. For employment as a minor, you will need to complete the personal information on this CDE Form B1-1 and print a copy to be signed by your employer.

2. Return the signed copy to your educational facilitator who will forward the form (along with a statement regarding satisfactory attendance and academic performance) to enrollment who then issues permits. Please include the home address where the final form should be mailed and indicate whether or not your child requires medical approval to obtain a permit.

3. Once verified, an official work permit will be issued for the learner to sign and provide to the employer. This permit will be mailed within 2-3 business days.
