Nope. They have a very clear policy:
IMPORTANT: You must attach a photocopy of your baby's official state-issued birth certificate; we cannot print your announcement without it.

Just curious, but did you pull this from the 1961 archive, or is this the current rule and we don’t yet know what the 1961 rules were for this newspaper in the brand new state of Hawaii?
Oh, not clear at all. They guy does not say that the news agency that feeds the newspapers would only accept birth announcements from the state. And besides, Obama's COLB is a forgery so I do not trust the dates on it.

Sorry a statement from February 4th, 2009 doesn't fly either. You'll have to go back 48 years.
