I'm not sure that one can get a certified copy of a long form with a seal. Also, the raised seal may not show in a flat photo, if it's not a different color but only embossed on the same background. From reading the laws and department policies during past discussion, I'm unclear if Hawaii only certifies the COLB; I can't read the stamp with Onaka's signature to tell if it says "I certify" or not. Anyone know where I can find a clearer view?
That's the same BS the Bamies used about their COLB. If there a seal there it would show under Photoshop enhancement. (I admit I haven't tried this with this photo.) When the Bamies made their claims I tried to make an embossing that wouldn't show up in a scanned image and I couldn't do it.
It doesn't make sense to me that Hawaii would only apply a seal to COLBs, but lots of things government does don't make sense to me.
