Work permits cannot be obtained ahead of the student being offered a job.

If you have already been issued a permit for another job, students will NOT need to renew or obtain a different permit.

Student Work Permit Instructions
-
Students will need to start a permit online. Get A Youth Work Permit Online | Georgia Department of Labor
-
Give the code that this generates to your employer.
-
The employer will need to complete the permit online and give the student a code to bring to a work permit-issuing officer.
-
You (the student) must come. Unfortunately, we cannot have a parent drop it off for us, as we have to certify with the Department of Labor that you came in person. (It might be a good idea to email an issuing officer before you plan to come to ensure someone will be able to assist you.)
-
Bring a copy of your driver's permit OR a copy of your birth certificate with you. (This will be returned)
-
We will TRY to process it on the spot, but please be advised that it might be a 24-hour turnaround before you can pick up the completed permit.
