Has anyone explained in clear terms the lineage and logic trail of how a photograph of the 1964 Certified Copy now appears on this website?

Who requested this Certified Copy? a) The Kenyan govt requested it on its own for internal duplicate/backup reasons, or b) The Obama family (his mother or father) requested it for passport, divorce, or other reasons.

So my question is how many Certified Copies have theoretically been made and what are the circumstances that led to one of them coming to be placed on a red-striped cushion, photographed and put on the web? And from which source is it more likely for this Certified Copy to have come, a) or b)?

Considering both a) and b) cases, where would this Certified Copy have been filed and resting all these years? Oxford? Kenya? Jakarta? Hawaii? Washington? London? What breach of security led to it being removed from its file cabinet, or bottom drawer, and photographed?

I must say, I don't understand the circumstances and trail for this particular 1964 version to appear before us.
