Upon request of any person over eighteen (18) years of age who wishes to work, the official in charge of issuing employment certificates may issue an age certificate stating that he is over eighteen (18) years of age, if the employer requires him to present proof of his age. Upon receiving this age certificate, the employer may keep and file it while the person is working for him. When the minor ceases to work for him, the employer shall return said certificate.
