THE PROCESS
Once a completed and signed Work Permit Application is received the District Issuing Officer verifies the student's information, consults with the school administrator and signs the work permit if approved by the school administrator. The form is then sent to the Maine Department of Labor (DOL) for their approval. If approved, a copy of the approved work permit will be emailed back to the student to bring to their employer. If denied, a letter will be issued stating the DOL's reasoning.
