Oklahoma Student Work Permits:  

The Oklahoma Department of Labor provides guidance on the student work permit process. The work permit FAQs have been replaced with two guides – one for schools and one for parents of homeschooled children. These guides help schools and parents of homeschooled children better understand the work permit process in an easy-to-understand format with step-by-step directions.
