Work Permits 

If you want a job, you need a work permit.

All teens 14, 15, 16 and 17 years of age must have a work permit before they can begin work. This applies to all teens, including those who are:

  • Enrolled in a public or private school
  • A home-school student
  • Out-of-state resident seeking a job in Indiana
  • No longer enrolled in school
  • Married

However, a work permit is not required if the teen has graduated from high school or has received a General Educational Development (GED) diploma.

To get started, check with your school about applying for a permit.
