  • The minor must have a transferable work permit issued by his/her Pennsylvania school district. Work permits from other states cannot be used therefore out of state minors will need to get a work permit from their respective high school district. If the minor has never had a transferable work permit, he/she must get an application for a permit from the school district.
  • The application form for the transferable work permit must be filled out by the parent, a physician, and the hiring work unit.
  • The application form for the transferable work permit then must be returned to the school district, which will issue the transferable work permit.
