The document is a recently produced "certification of live birth" -- often issued when you can't find the original birth certificate. I have one from San Antonio, and it looks like that (except I'm not an African).

I'm sure most people understand that an actual birth certificate has the mother's age at birth, mother's place of birth, child's gender, weight, sometimes footprints, etc -- in other words, all the vital stats collected by the dep't of health.

Some intrepid reporter needs to go to Honolulu, find the clerk that issued the "Certification of Live Birth" and ask to see the documents it was based on.

Hawaii does not permit release of birth certificates without the person's permission, and Obama has repeatedly refused to give his permission.

I just received a copy of my son’s birth certificate from California. It had my maiden name, husband’s name, our dates of birth and where we were born. It showed a signature from the doctor and when it was filed, along with the date, time and location of my son’s birth. Lots of info. It also had the embossed seal.I admit, that each state may be different along with time changing what all is included.
