IS THIS TRUE ?

““If you were born in Bali, for example,” Okubo explained, “you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate.”

That caught my attention too. I have never seen that before and I doubt the authenticity. When was this supposedly said? Now I am seriously doubting if he ever even got a copy from Hawaii and I think they faked the whole thing.

Polarik has proved that the COLB (or COLBs, since there were at lest two different versions) that appeared on the Internet were never issued by the state of Hawaii. They are merely forgeries and not very skillful ones at that.

Okubo: ““If you were born in Bali, for example,” Okubo explained, “you could get a certificate from the state of Hawaii saying you were born in Bali. You could not get a certificate saying you were born in Honolulu. The state has to verify a fact like that for it to appear on the certificate.”

The problem with making such a definitive statement is, when even one contrary example is found it refutes the argument. The Chinese born Sun Yat Sin (IIRC his name) had an Hawaiian CoLB which stated his place of birth as Honolulu.
