Many of us on FR doubted it was real. Too many told us to shut up about it.

Yep. Sounds exactly like the Larry Sinclair story.

I want you to read this page from the Hawaii Department of Health Vital records site....

Vital records (birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates) on file with the Department of Health may be amended (i.e., changes, corrections, additions, deletions, or substitutions) upon submission of the required documentation.

Who is eligible to apply and how to apply for an amendment?

Amended certificates of birth may be prepared and filed with the Department of Health, as provided by law, for 1) a person born in Hawaii who already has a birth certificate filed with the Department of Health or 2) a person born in a foreign country.

• Who is eligible to apply and how to apply for an amended certificate of birth?

Late registration, registration one year or more after the date of the event’s occurrence, of certificates are permitted subject to evidentiary requirements.

In other words the state of Hawaii is perfectly willing to issue amended Birth Certificates to persons born in another country.
