The short form of the COLB is enough to prove Hawaiian birth.

It is you who are not reading, while you try to change the subject. Neither form by itself is adequate to prove Hawaiian ancestry. Additional certified birth certificates are required to obtain a lease. From the page I linked above:

You will need the certified birth certificates for:

* Yourself
* Your biological father; and
* Your biological mother

So Certifications of Live Birth are not accepted as adequate identification for relatives, either. Odd, since according to you, they are always accepted as proof of Hawaiian birth. If you were correct, COLBs from all parties should be sufficient proof of ancestry. The Hawaiian Department of Home Lands seems to disagree.

The question you relentlessly refuse to answer remains the same: Why should second-rate documentation be accepted, when first-rate documentation should be so easily available? Answer that convincingly and I'll happily give you your "gotcha."

LOL. I'm trying to change the subject? LOL.

Since when were we talking about ancestry? We're talking about birth.

Any court, and any government agency accepts the COLB as proof of birth in the United States.

The only reason the Dept. of Home lands doesn't accept the COLB is because it needs proof of ancestry, not just birth.

That is a fact that you are unable to refute, my friend.
