Work Permit Information: The Workforce Development’s Equal Rights Division has developed a new online work permit application. As of June 30, 2023 the old system will be discontinued and you will no longer be required to visit a work permit office to obtain one. This online process can currently be used if you wish. This new system is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and can be utilized from any computer, tablet, smartphone or similar device. Payment is made directly to the department through the application, using a credit or debit card or by direct withdrawal. Once complete the employer will be directly mailed the permit.
