 Laborers.

It is necessary that every Chinese laborer residing within the United States shall have a proper certificate of residence.

Any registered Chinese laborer who has a lawful wife, child, or parent in the United States, or property therein of the value of 1,000, or debts of like amount due him and pending settlement, may depart from the United States and return on complying with the following conditions:

A Chinese registered laborer, claiming the right to be permitted to leave the United States and return thereto, shall apply in person to the officer of the Chinese Bureau in charge of the District in which he resides at least one month prior to his departure. He shall deposit with this officer his Certificate of Registration, and shall make on oath to the officer in charge, in writing, a full statement descriptive of his family, or property, or debts. He must fully describe himself&mdash;giving his family and given names, age, height, local residence, occupation, color of eyes, complexion, and distinguishing marks, if any, and the port in the United States from which he expects to depart. Such written description shall be filed in duplicate, and a photograph of applicant shall be permanently attached thereto. Photographs of applicant should be furnished, giving full front and profile views.

Such registered laborer must also furnish such proofs sustaining this application, either in the form of oral or written testimony, which shall satisfy the officer in charge.
