A permit system can be used to authorise volunteers to work at a site
or on a specific task.
A volunteer may need to meet basic orientation and training requirements before receiving a permit.

| The permit system can be beneficial when managing large numbers of volunteers, in order to keep track of everyone. |
Some organisations with smaller numbers of volunteers have less formal procedures where volunteers can go to any scheduled work day and sign the attendance record on the day. A permit system may not be needed in this case.
A permit can be in the form of a laminated card that the volunteer has with them when working.
