You have to be at least 14, and have a work permit. To get a work permit, a youth first must go in person to the local school official designated as an issuing officer or the Iowa Workforce Development Center and provide one of the following acceptable forms of evidence of age: a certified copy of a birth certificate, current passport or certified copy of baptismal record showing the date and place of birth and the place of the child's baptism. If none of these is available, then a written certification from a physician appointed by the local board of education certifying that, in the physician's opinion, the applicant is 14 years of age or older, is required. The employer then must complete the work permit (Child Labor Form), specifically listing all work the minor will be performing, equipment he will use, and hours to be worked. After completing this section, the minor's parent completes and signs his portion of the form. The form then is returned to the issuing officer for review and approval. You can also only work four hours a day, and only from the day after Labor Day (in September) through May 31, Mondays Through Fridays, and eight hours on weekends/holidays.
