The state of Maryland requires a work permit to be issued for any minor ages 14-17 who desires to have a job. The process for obtaining that permit has recently changed. You can visit the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing, and Regulation's website for complete, official information. To assist our students, we have provided a summary of the steps below.
- Visit DLLR's website to download the PDF of the Work Permit Application.
- Complete top section of application.
- Ask potential employer to complete middle section of application.
- Ask your parents to sign the application.
- Go back to DLLR's website to complete the online application. (If you are not able to complete the application online, Mr. Fry will assist you at school.)
- Print out your online application receipt.
- Make an appointment to see Mr. Fry at school and bring your online application receipt with you.
- Mr. Fry will approve the work permit and give you the paperwork for your employer.
Thank you for your patience as we all adjust to this new system.
