(1) Any employer desiring proof of the age of any
minor employee or prospective employee may require the minor to submit an age
certificate. Upon request of a minor, an age certificate shall be issued by or under
the authority of the school superintendent of the district or county in which the
applicant resides. The superintendents, principals, or headmasters of independent
or parochial schools shall issue age certificates to minors who attend such schools.

(2) The age certificate shall show the age of the minor, the date of his birth,
the date of issuance of the certificate, the name and position of the issuing officer,
the name, address, and description of the minor, and what evidence was accepted
as proof of age. The age certificate shall also show the school hours applicable and
shall state that a separate school release permit is required for minors under
sixteen to work on regular school days during such school hours. It shall be signed
by the issuing officer and by the minor in his presence.

(3) An age certificate shall not be issued unless the minor's birth certificate
or a photocopy or extract thereof is exhibited to the issuing officer, or unless such
evidence was previously examined by the school authorities and the information is
shown on the school records. If a birth certificate is not available, other
documentary evidence such as a baptismal certificate or a passport may be
accepted. If such evidence is not available, the parent or guardian shall appear with
the minor and shall make an oath before the judge or other officer of the juvenile or
county court as to the age of the minor.

(4) The employer shall keep an age certificate received by him for the
duration of the minor's employment and shall keep on file all age certificates where
they may be readily examined by an agent of the division. Upon termination of
employment and upon request, the certificate shall be returned to the minor.
