If you have a child (15 or younger) and would like him/her to be considered for extra work, your child MUST HAVE a valid, Illinois Dept. of Labor Employment Certificate, also known as a “work permit.” Your child CAN NOT work in the state of Illinois without the work permit.

There is no charge to obtain a work permit.
