CERTIFICATE OF EMPLOYMENT
(To be Used Only for Minors Under 16)
Minors 16 and 17 years of age should apply for a Certificate of Age, by presenting an *acceptable proof of age document to the Child Labor
Office. You may also apply through the department's website at http://labor.hawaii.gov/wsd.
IMPORTANT: This application should be signed by the employer only if the minor is promised a job. Before the minor starts working,
a completed application (form CL-1) and an *acceptable proof of age document must be submitted to this office. A minor is NOT

The minor is not required to appear in person - anyone may return this application and the proof of age document either in person or by
mail. You may fax the application, but the original CL-1 is required to be returned to this office before a certificate can be issued. If the

only for employment with the employer named on this application.
