Wrong. It is a birth certifcate, and is legal proof.
"Even some Official Agencies of the State of Hawaii do not accept a Hawaiian COLB and require a certified long form Birth Cert. to prove their status as a citizen of Hawaii and the USA."
False. This is another of those false stories floating around about all this.
Some Hawaii state agencies do not accept the “Certification of Live Birth” as irrefutable verification of Hawaiian birth. There have been numerous cases when the Hawaii Family Court System required more detailed data for paternity suits. Additionally, the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands provides the following guidelines to Hawaiian natives applying for Hawaiian Home Lands homestead:
The primary documents used to show you are of age and a qualified native Hawaiian are:
- A certified copy of Certificate of Birth;
- A certified copy of Certificate of Hawaiian Birth, including testimonies; or
- A certified copy of Certificate of Delayed Birth.
“In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.”
So ask yourself, why does Obama not produce his Original Birth Certificate? Is it because there is information on the ORIGINAL that will cause problems?
