This, together with all the context, will be going on my blog shortly. I am not a liar. You, on the other hand, are. (As I preview I see that the formatting from the C&P doesn't show up and I can't edit it to make it show up. The formatting will be correct on the blog.) RE: UIPA Request - DoH Administrave Rules, Regulations, or Procedures From: Okubo, Janice S. (janice.okubo@doh.hawaii.gov) Sent: Wed 2/03/10 11:12 AM To: Aloha, In going back through my e-mails, I found this one and was unsure if a response had been provided. The public health regulations (or administrative rules) regarding vital records are posted at http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/index.html There has been no repeal of these rules. In regards to the terms date accepted and date filed on a Hawaii birth certificate, the department has no records that define these terms. Historically, the terms "Date accepted by the State Registrar" and "Date filed by the State Registrar" referred to the date a record was received in a Department of Health office (on the island of Oahu or on the neighbor islands of Kauai, Hawaii, Maui, Molokai, or Lanai), and the date a file number was placed on a record (only done in the main office located on the island of Oahu) respectively. Historically, most often the "date accepted" and the "date filed" is the same date as the majority of births occur on Oahu (the island with the largest population in our state). In the past, when births were recorded on paper they may have been accepted at a health office on an island other than Oahu, such as Kauai. The paper record would then need to be sent to Oahu to have a file number placed on it, and the filed date would then be sometime later (as you know, the state of Hawaii is comprised of multiple islands with miles of water in between). The electronic age has changed this process significantly, and it was determined some time ago that one date would suffice. Janice Okubo Hawaii State Department of Health
