Do we know for sure that the only documentation the hospital submits to the state is the signed birth certificate? I haven't seen any research on that. Back to my title clerk experience, which is a sore subject I know. We submitted a whole folder full of information with the title and tag paperwork. Maybe the hospital has to provide information that is not printed on the actual birth certificate but is supplemental and supportive in nature, such as license numbers or other such items. Just consider it. That's all I'm suggesting.
When OIP attorney Linden Joesting indicated that the denial of access to receipts and invoices for Obama amending his BC was a proper response, she confirmed that Obama paid a fee to amend his BC.
Do we know that the fee to which you're referring isn't the fee Obama paid to obtain the 2007 COLB posted online?
I don’t know what the hospitals submitted. That’s a good question. Maybe somebody here knows the answer.
Whatever information was needed to verify place of birth would be on just the certificate if it was signed by a doctor, so there would be no reason for Fukino to refer to plural “records” if she was verifying birth place, unless the whole birth claim depended on supplementary information.
Regarding the fee, the part about “to amend his records” should have resulted in a “no records exist” response separate from the “access denied” if a fee was paid to see his birth record. They’re supposed to segregate the responses if different portions of the request require different responses.
