Groan.

It was printed on security paper a few weeks ago. That doesn’t make it a forgery. The original was scanned at some point, stored for an unknown period (perhaps decades), and then printed on the security paper. That’s functionally identical to modern photocopy methods (scan-then-print) with only an intervening delay, which due to storage constraints prompts technical shortcuts which produce the multi-layer multi-resolution artifacts.

Heck, one way or another the original gets scanned, processed, and rendered on your computer monitor - which isn’t any more or less proof of forgery, just the reality of modern technology.

The ultimate proof it’s NOT a fake is its own content. Nobody would produce a forgery which, if taken as the truth it alleges, proves he is ineligible.

And you are certain of this because?

I'm referring to obvious technical flaws and you are making statements about the disposition of this document that you have absolutely no way of knowing unless you've worked in the Hawaii Department of Vital Statistics for the past 50 years.

Groan, indeed.
