NEW - Work Permits Obtained Online
The work permit application is available to the parents of minors 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from any computer, tablet, smartphone, or similar device. 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 ACH direct withdrawal. Once the permit application process is complete, the Department mails a paper copy of the permit directly to the employer.
In addition, we have reorganized our employment of minors web pages. The information you need is linked on this page, including a guide to hazardous and prohibited work, the hours and times of day restrictions for minors, and links to the appropriate statutes and codes.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact workpermits@dwd.wisconsin.gov.
