Not even close. This needs to stop, it makes FR posters look like idiots, we need to stop beating this dead horse.
***What state was mccain born in??***
Confusion?
I was born in 1961.
Still have my original birth certificate with my tiny little foot prints on it. Awe.
Not so, read the requirements.
Hawaii states that Birth Certificates can ONLY be made available to the following individuals:
Person Named on the Certificate
Mother/Father (or Legal Guardian)
Legal Representative of an Authorized Person
Individuals with a legitimate and legal reason to search for genealogical purposes
Birth Certificates MAY also be released to the following, IF we are provided with the documentation proving one of the relationships specified below:
Husband/Wife of Person Named on Certificate
Son/Daughter of Person Named on Certificate
It looks like it is pretty much a Fraud.
It looks like it is pretty much a Fraud.
Sorry, it wasn’t for my wife. We got it last week.
He was born in the Canal Zone of US parents. Yes he is considered eligible for the presidency since his father was in the US military and McCain was born at a military installation...just like me.
It should be remembered that Barack Hussein Obama thinks babies born alive after botched abortions do not deserve birth certificates. It’s perfectly OK to kill them. He doubtless wouldn’t even want them to get death certificates, because that would be an acknowledgment that they were once living human beings.
The fact that appears to be stamped “JUN 6 2007” on the reverse does not help matters any.
If you requested a copy of your birth certificate and it was processed tomorrow, your copy would be stamped JUN 13, 2008.
You can't get the original copy of your birth certificate, it was filed with the state and will stay there. Any subsequent copy of the birth certificate is going to be issued in the format of choice at the time. Once, that was a photostat (identifiable as a reverse image, recognizable as white printing on a black background). Then, it was a xerographic copy -- duly certified. Now it is a computer-generated piece of paper.
Africa is a continent, and it has many races and many nations.
Bogus document by someone that doesn’t know better.
If you were working at a registry office in Honolulu in 1961, how much would you know?
Say a child is born who's mother is Japanese and father is Filipino. What do you write? Asian and Asian for the parents? Or Japanese and Filipino? The Hawaiian usage might have been the latter.
This was before the federal government came up with its racial categories, so what you would write might be up to you or to a boss who didn't know much more about today's racial categories than you did or to the parents who don't know either.
In Hawaii, Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Samoans, and Hawaiians didn't lump themselves together in those days.
If you don't know that many Blacks or Negroes and are confused about what the right term is and a woman writes down that her husband's race is "African" maybe you'd just take her word for it.
Obviously this is a modern copy. Not an original document. You might find the original information in a big register book, rather than in some piece of paper you can get from the city or state today.
But if the racial categories don't make sense to us or the business of racial categorization is offensive to us, that doesn't in itself mean anything else is fake about it.
re: my postst above, *I* am the idiot. The statute that applies reads: 8 § 1405. Persons born in Hawaii
How Current is This?
A person born in Hawaii on or after August 12, 1898, and before April 30, 1900, is declared to be a citizen of the United States as of April 30, 1900. A person born in Hawaii on or after April 30, 1900, is a citizen of the United States at birth. A person who was a citizen of the Republic of Hawaii on August 12, 1898, is declared to be a citizen of the United States as of April 30, 1900.
I'm looking at mine and my birth certificate is titled "Certificate of Birth". They're one and the same.

Someone get Buckhead on the phone.
I am sorry but they're not the same. a "Certification of Birth" is a trimmed down version of "Certificate of Birth".
