authorized in writing by the local school board where such child
resides, upon the application of the parent, guardian, or custodian
of the child desiring such permit. The person authorized to issue
work permits shall not issue any such permit unless the person has
received, examined, approved, and filed:

whose service the child under sixteen years of age is about to enter,
promising to give such child employment, describing the industry and
the work to be performed.

or more, which shall consist of one of the following proofs required

to law with a registrar of vital statistics or other officer charged
with the duty of recording births.
b. A passport or a certified copy of a certificate of baptism
showing the date and place of birth and the place of baptism of such
child.
c. For cases where the proofs designated in paragraphs
"a" and "b" are not obtainable, documentation issued by the
