"A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar's signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must be within 1 year of your birth."
Obama's COLB fails the above requirements. It is not a birth certificate, though it appears to have a raised seal, the registrar's signature, and it was filed within 4 days if his birth.
When ordering, be aware that shortened (abstract) versions of birth certificates offered by some states may not be acceptable for US passport purposes. Be sure to order only the full, certified copy of the original birth certificate bearing the registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar’s signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office.
Furthermore, the Hawaii DOH explicitly says their COLB is good enough to get a passport.
I am going to have give you a pass on this one, as I have not been able to prove it or disprove it. Others have stated the same but I can' t argue this point without facts. Do you have a link that supports your point?
Of course, instead of focusing on the above text, you focus on the following:
For some reason, you seem to have focused on the word "some." You see, some abstracts, not all, are not acceptable. Why? From the context, it's obvious that some abstracts don't have one of the following: a raised seal, registrar's signature, or dated filed. But Obama's does, so it's obvious that his abstract is fine.
Does it not make sense to you that Barry proferred a fraudulent document and he knows it,
No, since there's not a shred of evidence to suggest he did any such thing. Again, I give you a pass on this one as it is currently a matter of perspective and not proven(to my mind)
since he provided one for college,
I went to college and had to provide a copy of my birth certificate and school records. It may have been different in my case, as I left high school at 15.(I don't claim to be super smart but my teachers, counseler and Mom thought I was better off in college. Which was fine by me)
to obtain his original passport
He could very well have presented a COLB similar to the one he posted.
There was no such thing as a COLB in the 70's or 80's. So he could not have presented one.
and then found one among his mother's belongings upon her death. Why would he not just slap up one of those? Why?
Perhaps because he lost it, or he had it in a box somewhere in his garage and couldn't find it, or perhaps he had to submit it for some reason and never got it back.
People do lose birth certificates, you know. Why else would states issue new copies of them on demand?
Then why no explanation to clear things up? He lost the most recent copy? It seemed pretty important and not something that he would lose or misplace. I have things stored, that I haven't touched in over 20 years. But, I do know, about exactly, where they are. LOL
There's a link to the statement from the Hawaii DOH further up on this thread.
