Thanks Polarik...so under “citizen of state” it is affirmative, which tells us that the stepfather declared Barry as such- it doesn’t show us actual records. BUT- it should be enough for SOME enterprising news organization to look into... ~~crickets~~

What bothers me is that everything is written by the same person, except for "Barry Soetoro." Who wrote it?

His stepfather? The principle?

I’m not sure that the name entry was made by a different person.

But, in any case these entries would have been made by whoever registered young Barry. One clerk could have entered the name and someone conducting the entrance interview could have made the other entries.

Or not. It could just be the difference between a ruler aligned entry and others that were entered without a ruler.

I’m not sure this is important except to act as an additional reason to take the document as genuine.

Another wrinkle. Note the space where “Barry Soetoro” is entered is labled on the right with an “L”, and the empty space below is labeled with a “P”. These are abbreviations for “Laki-laki” or male, and “Perempuan” or female.
