I’ve seen a copy of his birth certificate on the web that has been verified as genuine and authentic by Department of Health officials of the state of Hawaii.

pffttt.... LOL

The department of health said no such thing. What they stated was they in fact held his original document - they never verified the website document to be authentic. Find the site of where they stated that. You may have seen that in headlines on various web sites but they also inserted exactly what the Department of Health stated. They did not verify his birth certificate that was posted on his site.

Announcements in the newspaper mean nothing. His mother registered him on August 8, 1961 in Hawaii as a birth. Where he was born is a mystery. By those records the announcement in the newspaper dated August 12, 1961 came from the department as a birth - period. Again, no proof!

There is almost no difference between a Hawaii long form Certification of Live Birth and a Hawaii short form Certification of Live Birth.
Here’s an example of the long form and the additional information on it is insignificant.

Anyone requesting a copy of their birth certificate in Hawaii is issued the short form. Nobody gets the long form issued to them and as it says on every short form Certification of Live Birth: “This copy serves as prima facie evidence of the fact of birth in any court proceeding.”
Obama’s says that he was born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961 at 7:24 P.M. and the date that it was filed by the state registrar was August 8, 1961.
