If you are like me, anything that has to do with permits, DMV or any type of business that I can handle from the comfort of my home office rather than standing in some civic building line, I prefer to handle at home via the internet or telephone. So when I saw that you could link your child's current work permit to a new online profile and even renew them, get copies, etc via this portal I was thrilled. Well it took me about two hours of frustration and no progress to figure out the site must not be completely functional. Yes I am a little slow at times. But I figured why would the site be live if it didn't work?
So I trekked back to the Van Nuys permit office in search of answers. Here was the short answer: "Ma'am that site shouldn't even be up, we will send you a notice in the mail once it works." OOOOOKAY! So any other mommagers or anyone else that needs to get a work permit or wants to verify a minor work permit be forewarned that although the above system is live it is NOT fully functional.
As near as I can tell you are able to set up an online account but you are not currently able to link a permit to it. If you have a current permit or have had one in the last year you will receive a notice in the mail when the site is working with instructions on how to log in according to the woman whom I spoke with this past Monday.
You can also get a 10 day work permit but it is not free. You get it instantly online at the not so low low price of $50.00.
I hope this is helpful to someone!
