Copies of birth certificates were required to prove the age of children, along with labour certificates proving they had satisfied the requirements of school attendance, issued by the Derbyshire Education Committee.

Several certificates are stamped as received at Union Offices, Chesterfield. A few certificates pre-date the implentation of the Act.
