The applicant must also have a valid work permit form signed by their employer, an employment contract or letter from their employer verifying the hours and nature of employment, a signed statement of parental approval if the applicant is under 18, and any other documentation as may be required by Arkansas law. Those aged 18 and older must have a valid photo identification, a valid work permit form signed by their employer, an employment contract or letter from their employer verifying the hours and nature of employment, proof of lawful presence in the United States, and any other documentation as required by Arkansas law.
