Please ensure you have included all pages (see below). Photos of the application are not acceptable. All items must be scanned (you can get a free scan application for your phone). Processing time is 1-2 business days.
All Minors between the ages of 14 to 18 are required to obtain a work permit to be employed in the state of Massachusetts. To obtain a work permit, please complete the work permit application and employment permit form (links are below). Please use the instructions and checklist for a list of documents you will need to complete the process.
