Due to a change in State law (effective October 2, 2026), all work permits must now be issued through the State Of Michigan's YEPP (Youth Employment Permit Portal).
Here is some information from their web page and a link to the web page to get started. The instructions and FAQs are at the bottom of the page that the link brings you to.
YEPP Login Instructions
Work permits are issued through the Youth Employment Permit Portal (YEPP).
To access YEPP, you will login though MiLogin. If you already have a MiLogin account, you can search for the Youth Employment Permit Portal (YEPP) and add it to your applications. If you don’t have a MiLogin account, you will have to create one.
