Does the Hawaii Dept of Health keep non-Hawaii birth certifcates on it's files?
According to the HDOH website "Vital records (birth, death, civil union, marriage, and divorce certificates) for events that occurred in Hawaii are received and preserved by the Office of Health Status Monitoring, a unit of the Department of Health.

Yes, Hawaii, and many other states in the Union, keep non-Hawaii birth certificates in their records.
According to Janice Okubo, the former communications director of the Hawaii Department of Health: “If you were born in Bali, for example, Okubo explained, you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate.”—The Washington Independent, July 17, 2009

Nobody said such a thing. "Hawaiian" birth certificates can include out-of-state places of birth. This is what spokesbabe Janice Okubo indicated when she said Obama's birth certificate should say he was born in Bali.
"If you were born in Bali, for example," Ms Okubo told the Washington Independent, "you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate."
