If you are 16 or older, you do NOT need a work permit.
The Department of Workforce Development has developed an online work permit application tool that is available to the parents of minors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any computer, tablet, smartphone, or similar device. You no longer need to obtain your work permit through the school.
A parent can access the site using these instructions. Payment is made directly to the department through the application, using a credit or debit card or by ACH direct withdrawal. Once the permit application process is complete, the Department mails a paper copy of the permit directly to the employer.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact workpermits@dwd.wisconsin.gov.
