You must apply for authorisation if you wish to employ a minor under the age of 13. For example, you need authorisation for a child to rehearse or work in cultural or artistic events, as extras or artists, or at sporting or advertising events.

It is the Swedish Work Environment Authority which grants authorisation to engage minors and it is we too who examine issues relating to working times.
Send the application no later than four weeks before the work is to begin.
For minors between the ages of 13 and 18 you may also have to seek authorisation if you wish to be exempt from the rules on working time.

You may send an application even if you have not decided which minor or minors to employ in the production. We can make two types of decision:
- a specific decision relating to named minors
- a general decision relating to a certain number of minors of a certain age.
You may apply in the same application for authorisation for several minors with different dates, where the same production is concerned.
It is important that you fill in all the information in the application. Otherwise, you may need to supplement the application and your authorisation may be delayed.

If the application does not contain all the information necessary, we will get in touch and ask for it to be supplemented. You will then have two weeks to supplement the application, but you can have more time if you request it. If we do not receive the supplementary information, we will normally reject the application.

Once the application is complete, we will make a decision. We will send the decision by email to the contact person. If you have not given an email address in the application, we will send the decision by letter.
