Any person who is domiciled in the Commonwealth, and is leaving the Commonwealth temporarily, and who desires on his return to be excepted from the Act, under paragraph (n) of Section 3 thereof, may apply to the Collector of Customs at the port of departure for a Certificate of Domicile.

The collector, upon being satisfied that he is so domiciled, and upon being supplied with such particulars as he may require for the identification of the applicant, and upon payment of a fee of £2, shall give him a certificate in the form of the schedule hereto.

Upon returning to the Commonwealth, the applicant shall deliver the certificate to an officer at the port of landing; and if he satisfies the officer of his identity, he shall be deemed not to be a prohibited immigrant.
