Working Papers
The way teens obtain working papers in New Jersey will be changing on June 1, 2023!
Effective June 1st, 2023, Working Papers applications will be online at
MyWorkingPapers.NJ.gov. Employers hiring teenagers must register online to receive a unique 8-digit code and share that code with every minor they intend to hire. The potential hire can then visit the website to create an account and start their working papers application, entering the employer's unique code. Caregivers must review the details of the job and provide proof of the minor's age. The NJ Department of Labor will notify the business once the application is approved. Rather than going through local schools, younger workers will simply visit this site and be walked through a few easy steps.
