IMPORTANT MESSAGE!

The State of New York requires that all child performers under 18 years of age who either reside in the state of New York or work in the state of New York obtain a television work permit and UTMA/UGMA account.

A Temporary 15 Day Work Permit can be obtained on-line for the child's FIRST job only. Parents must read and follow the directions carefully on how to obtain a 12 month work permit. 12 month permits must be renewed in the mail or your child will not be allowed to work if he/she books another job. It is your sole responsibility to keep the permits current.
