The copy is dated February, 1964. Stanley Ann filed for divorce from Barack Sr. in Hawaii in...January, 1964.

Stanley Ann signed her divorce papers dated on 20th Jan, 1961, the divorce became final 2 months later in March 1961.
Speculatively speaking then, it makes sense. The divorce being filed in Jan, the bureaucracy would have required the appropriate paperwork such as marriage documents and documents regarding children. Hence this BC being pulled in February.
Again just an educated hypothesis at this point, but it seems that his mother pulling and submitting the birth certificate shortly after filing for divorce would make a lot of sense. The timing is nearly perfect.
Also, I would tend to think that even in Kenya, very few besides authorized immediate family members would be able to pull a birth certificate. So, if this document is authentic and the date of issue is correct, then reason dictates that Obamas mother would be the most likely candidate and the divorce filing the likely motivation.
