For the last 3 years they have been refusing to do any letters of verification because if they did any for somebody else it would reveal that they wouldn’t do one for Obama. When I asked Janice Okubo for a copy of the form they use for verifications she said there weren’t any records responsive to my request because they don’t do verifications; when somebody sends in for a verification the HDOH sends them a certified COLB.
Liar. But that’s what we’re dealing with. They change their “procedures” according to whatever Obama needs to cover his a$$, with no regard to the laws, and when they can’t obfuscate for months and months at a time they lie. And they treat each person differently, with a special fear and hatred of haoles; procedures are designed to make it difficult for anybody who is not in Hawaii.
And that needs to bite them in the butt. Their own website says that a request for a letter of verification has to be requested the same way as a certified copy, and they will not allow requests for certified copies to be made by phone, fax, or email. How did that request letter get from Kansas to Hawaii the same day as it was created, with the response to it coming in the very same day? They broke their own rules.
Ken Bennett made the request the legal way and waited 8 weeks to get what he got. If I had made the same request, without media coverage to create pressure, I would have had the same response as my colleague got: you qualify for the verification but your request has been sent to the AG’s office so they can figure out an excuse to not give you a verification so nobody will realize that we will never issue a verification for Obama. (And why is that? Because you CAN’T!)
I’m looking at all three verification letters here. AZ, MISS, KS.
The only one where an embossed stamp is visible (starkly and clearly visible) is the one for Mississippi.
That letter only states only two things.
1) They have an original record for Obastard.
2) The information MATCHES the fake PDF website image.
All three letters have been initialed by somebody other than Onaka. gk, BP, ALO (or AZO)
Once they start to get into details, the embossed seal stamp does not appear to be used. Why?
The only difference that I can see between the Mississippi letter and the Kansas letter is that the Kansas letter mentions the birth certificate number 151 61 10641.
If there really is no embossed seal on the two letters that ask for details (as it appears), that seems significant to me because as if we suspect that birth certificate number belongs to somebody else the certification process seems to
take a dive here. No embossed seal, no certification.
It’s also strange that the letters use the phrase “reviewed by me” and then Onaka has to have somebody initial the stamp. I realize he has secretarial staff but with all the hullabaloo about the birth certificate you’d think he could certify these few letters all by himself.
Yep. Liars.

Letters of Verification
Letters of verification may be issued in lieu of certified copies (HRS §338-14.3). This document verifies the existence of a birth/death/civil union/marriage/divorce certificate on file with the Department of Health and any other information that the applicant provides to be verified relating to the vital event. (For example, that a certain named individual was born on a certain date at a certain place.) The verification process will not, however, disclose information about the vital event contained within the certificate that is unknown to and not provided by the applicant in the request.
Letters of verification are requested in similar fashion and using the same request forms as for certified copies.
The fee for a letter of verification is $5 per letter.
