Yes, more or less. However, the ladies I spoke to about the thing, led me to believe that the receipts were part of the records of those requesting them. So My Mom’s request was filed under HER name, not mine. My request was filed under my name of course.
No UIPA request is necessary for filing a copy request. Its just a straightforward form. I just recently ordered a copy of my LONG FORM. I was told I had to write a special letter to Dr. Onaka, as he has to personally authorize requests for Long Form Certificates, requesting my full Long Form for Genealogy Purposes. My brother is doing a huge project right now, and is looking for that sort of stuff.
This is my second request, the first one they “lost” along with the 10$ fee in the form of a cashier’s check - how they prefer to be paid for such records requests - how convenient. So the second one I sent I used a Return Receipt Request with the green postcard on it. So that was another oh 15$ altogether. I have gotten the post card back with a stamped signature on it, so I know HDOH has my request.
I have not gotten anything back from them at this time. They are not exactly quick. They really can and sometimes DO take 6 weeks to respond.
So contrary to the popular faither myth, you can order a long form and they do have a process for getting you a copy. Now if only Obama would follow up and order his.
