Work Permits

Change in Work Permit Law effective June 23, 2017

A new law effective on June 23, removes the requirement that 16- and 17-year old minors obtain a work permit prior to beginning work. This means that the following information about obtaining a work permit, only pertains to minors younger than age 16:

To obtain a work permit, the minor or the minor and a parent must visit the permit officer, taking with them the minor's birth certificate or other proof of age, social security card, hiring statement from the employer explaining job duties and hours of work, written parental consent and a $10.00 fee. Work permits are issued at the Altoona High School office, 711 7th St W, during regular office hours.
