I’m not saying every nurse would be an authorized registrar. It’s like that one nurse, the head nurse, or at most two head nurses for different shifts. Certainly the head nurse would deal with parents signatures. It is more than likely, in fact, highly likely, though that a head nurse/registrar must be available to witness a doctor’s signature. Otherwise, her signature is meaningless because she attest to the information she’s supposed to.
Yes, I’m certain the certificate number was assigned and stamped by the state’s office. My contention is that it’s possible the file/accepted by date was stamped by the local registrar/nurse.
Nurses are not state local registrars for vital statistics.
The only way to prove your theory is for the original to be released to confirm that the signature of the local registrar matches that of local registrar who signed the Nordyke twins certs and that the date filed & the date accepted are indeed different dates on '0's cert. This is the only way that your theory of stacked up and out of order paperwork could be plausible.
Okubo’s response was actually in regards to what “Date filed by registrar” means. She said it means the day when the state registrar gave the certificate a certificate number.
That’s why the “date filed” and certificate number are bound to each other. Okubo confirmed that the 2 happen at the same time.
Okubo says that up until more recently there was also an item, “Date ACCEPTED by registrar”, which was the day that the local registrar received the BC. She was being asked about the difference between all these terms and said they don’t use “Date ACCEPTED” any more because it doesn’t matter when the local registrar gets the BC now that they do things electronically. And the day that a local registrar received a BC on Oahu was always the same day as they got the BC to the state registrar’s office and the number was given. That wasn’t true for other areas in Hawaii, where it took longer to get the BC’s to the state registrar.
Someone has an “I” problem and can’t see what’s in front of him.
