Connecticut General Statutes requires Superintendents of Schools and/or their Designated Agent for Working Papers to issue Certificate of Age/Working Papers (Form ED-301) to minors who have received a promise of employment from a prospective employer. The purpose of the ED-301 is to ensure that individuals under the age of 18 have proper documentation of their age and are employed in occupations that are permitted under the law.

Working papers are issued during the hours of 7:30 am - 3:00 pm.
