Entertainment Work Permits (EWP)

If you are a minor seeking a work permit in the entertainment business, minors may download the Entertainment Work Permit Application HERE. The EWP must be signed and stamped by the minor's School of Attendance. The document may be emailed to the minor's school administrator or designee for verification of Satisfactory Grades and Attendance. The LAUSD WEE Office CANNOT sign on the school's behalf.

It is the parent/guardian's responsibility to contact the Entertainment Work Permit office to obtain the legal work permit. Additional information about obtaining an Entertainment Work Permit may be found by visiting the EWP Website: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/entertainment-work-permit.htm
