"We have people younger than 16 taking the exam all the time, but our experience has been that those typically 14 or so and younger, more likely than not will FAIL the exam anyhow, so a minimum age isn't really necessary."

I can't answer your specific question concerning your son who holds the certificate but is not yet 16.. boating in NH. NB
