Working Papers for Youth
How do youths 12-15 years old obtain a New Hampshire Youth Employment Certificate?
First, they find a job.
The employer then completes the Employer's Request for Child Labor form.
The youth takes the completed Employer's Request for Child Labor form to their local school
or
the superintendent's office.
The school/superintendent's office then issues the New Hampshire Youth Employment Certificate (RSA 276-A:5).
*Parents may also obtain a youth certificate for their child by calling the Department of Labor at 603-271-3176.Finally, the youth takes the certificate issued from the school/superintendent's office back to the employer.
