For students requesting theatrical permits, including entertainment industry, modeling, etc., these must be obtained by a parent/guardian directly from the California State Labor Commissioner at 1515 Clay Street, Room 801, Oakland, CA, 94612.

The completed application may then be mailed back to the Oakland office by the parent again with a self-addressed, stamped envelope, and the special work permit will be mailed back.
