In Wyoming, work permits are no longer required. However, to ensure that a child is of proper age to be employed, every person, firm or corporation employing a child under 16 must procure a form of proof of age, and keep it on file where the child is employed.
The proof of age must be made available for inspection by any official charged with the enforcement of laws regulating the employment of minors. The acceptable forms of proof of age include the following:
(1) a duly attested birth certificate;
(2) a properly prepared Immigration and Naturalization Form I-9 showing the age of the child; or
(3) any other document showing the age of the child as approved by the Department of Employment.
Effective July 1, 2007, persons under the age of 21 are prohibited from mixing or dispensing alcoholic beverages.
