As the DHHS Birth Certificate Fraud reports, documenting Hawaii's birth certificate fraud id problematic because of the Federal state, and local government's refusals to investigate or prosecute cases of birth certificate fraud, even when discovered and reported to law enforcement. The report informs us the rate of birth certificate fraud ranges from greater to 80 percent to 100 percent in certain categories of crime, but the component of the criminal activity encopassing the birth certificate fraud is ignored by the prosecutors even while prosecuting the other criminal counts. Just because the government chooses to routinely ignore the birth certificate fraud even when discovered and reported certainly does not and cannot indicate the State of Hawaii does not issue fraudulent birth certificates. Instead, it indicates the state of Hawaii and other governments simply tolerate and condone the crime in almost all instances. The reality of this situation is not unlike the governments’ lack of prosecution and lack of accurate reporting of illegal immigration and illegal immigrants, often for the same reasons and motivations.

I recall reading an article regarding birth certificate fraud in Hawaii as having been a rampant problem since the territory became a state. The article basically said a sort of "birth certificate factory" existed as a long going concern since Hawaii became a state. Officials were apparently being bribed to allow foreign born people to claim Hawaiian birth for the purpose of receiving the benefits of American citizenship.

I suspect that Hawaii's lenient birth certificate laws are not mistakes but are perhaps intentional.
