New York requires that all corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), limited partnerships (LPs), limited liability partnerships (LLPs), or out-of-state companies that regularly transact business in New York under a name different from their legal name, must file a DBA with the New York Department of State.
In New York State, DBAs have no expiration date and renewals aren't necessary. You do, however, need to file a Certificate of Discontinuance if you're no longer conducting business.
Working papers serve as your official employment certificate. Working papers were established to make sure businesses do not work you too many hours while you are in school and in the summer as well. You will need working papers if you are under 18 years old.
School officials issue all working papers, except for child performer permits. If you are in school, go to your guidance office and ask for a working papers application. If you are not in school, go to the nearest school by where you live because they are required to give you the application.
If you have a financial emergency and need a faster decision on your immigration work permit, you can file an I-765 Permission to Work expedite request.
Students must: Fill out the New York State application available on the NY State Education Website (Open external link), which also provides related resources (e.g., Work Hours). Submit it to the designated person in their high school or middle school. Ask about a virtual process if needed.
Families still have the option to submit their applications by mail. However, mailed applications can take up to 3 weeks (or more) to process. Applicants can personally download permits themselves within 1 to 3 business days of submitting a complete application by signing in again to the new portal.
Getting a New York visa can be complicated, especially when it comes to a work visa. Without a residence permit (Green Card) or a visa granted by the United States government, you will not be able to get a job and stay in New York legally.
