I notice also that on Obama's ostensible certificate it reads at lower-left "DATE FILED BY REGISTRAR" whereas on your example it reads "DATE ACCEPTED BY STATE REGISTRAR". I realize that 30 years separate the two, but everything else remains the same; including the spacing between entries vertically.

Thanks.

There are so many good questions re the phoney BC copy paraded around as a real copy.

OBami could silence this overnight.

He could authorize that certified copies of his bc be sent to places like Free Republic to post on their websites.

Of course that will not happen any more than Kerry authorized copies of his military records to be sent the Swiftboats, Free Republic and other sites.

I realize that 30 years separate the two...

However, both papers are printed on a form that says in the lower left corner OHSM 1.1 (Rev 11/01) LASER

Both of these papers were printed in the Hawaii Vital Records Office after November 2001 as the result of a request for a birth certificate. Neither was generated in 1930 or 1961.

The website for requesting Birth Certificates from Hawaii has a .pdf application form that has fields for requesting certified copies (ie, with the seal) and “other” - without the seal = copies. I bet the different color borders indicate whether is is a $12.00, with the seal, copy or a $4.00, uncertified copy.

Also, at the bottom of the application form is a section “for Office Use Only” which is used by the clerk who is searching the ACTUAL records of birth, made in the year of the birth.

This focus on these Hawaiia-generated papers is a waste of time.
