Under the Hawaii Child Labor Law, a work permit or child labor certificate is required for working minors until they reach 18 years of age. There are two types of certificates: Certificate of Employment (14-15 year old minors) and Certificate of Age (16-17 year old minors). Forms are available online and at the College & Career Center in HH101.
