Working Papers Instructions

Students who wish to work prior to their 18th birthday must complete working papers before taking campus employment. Please follow the steps below: 

  1. Create an account. Enter your name and email address at myworkingpapers.nj.gov
  2. Complete an application. You’ll need your employer’s unique 8-digit code which is 00011070 and your caregiver’s name and email address to submit your part of the application. 
  3. Track your progress. You may need to follow up with your caregiver and employer, who need to submit their parts of the application before you can start working. If your application is rejected for any reason, you can’t work until you submit a new application that is approved.
  4. Get to work! Once your application is approved and you have completed the I-9 form, you can start working as a student employee.
