Sec. 11. (a) As proof of age, the issuing officer shall require one (1) of the following documents:
(1) A birth certificate or duly attested transcript of a birth certificate issued by the registrar of vital statistics or any other officer charged with the duty of recording births. The registrar may not charge a fee for a certificate or transcript as provided by IC 16-37-1-9(c)(2). School records of age that have been verified by a birth certificate may be substituted by the issuing officer for a birth certificate.
(2) A baptismal certificate or a certified transcript of the record of baptism showing the child's date of birth and place of baptism.
(3) Other documentation, including:
(A) a bona fide contemporary record of the child's birth, comprising a part of the family record of births in the Bible;
(B) other documentary evidence satisfactory to the department of labor, including a certificate of arrival in the United States issued by United States immigration officers and showing the child's age; or
(C) a life insurance policy.
Documentary evidence under this subdivision must have been in existence for at least one (1) year.
(4) A sworn statement by a public health physician, a public school physician, or the superintendent stating, in the opinion of the signatory, the child's physical age. This statement shall show the child's height and weight and other facts upon which the signatory's opinion is based. The physician's or superintendent's statement shall be accompanied by a statement of the child's age signed by the child's parent and by available school records.
(b) The documents that may constitute proof of age under this section are listed in preferential order. The issuing officer shall require the document of age under subsection (a)(1) in preference to a document under subsection (a)(2), (a)(3), or (a)(4). To avoid delay, the documents under subsection (a)(2), (a)(3), or (a)(4) may be accepted if the issuing officer files a written statement that verification of date of birth has been requested from the appropriate governmental agency but has not been received.
