They did; we had another big thread on this a few days ago and a number of freepers showed their BCs.

Try to find the thread.

[BIGLOOK]

I thought that Obama's natural born citizenship issue had been settled......

But looking over documents, mine and my son's, Birth Certificates in California ( mine, US Navy hospital) and in Hawaii (my son's), a lot of information has been omitted or redacted from Obama's copy.

1. The name of the hospital
2. The name, title and signature of the attending physician
3. The name of the hospital administrator
The notation; In Witness Whereof the said Hospital has caused this Certificate to be signed by duly authorized officer and its Corporate Seal to be hereunto affixed. Of course that's just a mere formality.
4. The name and signature of the Local Registrar (of the state) and the date of the registration.
5. The State's Registration file number.

There is also the Name of the Mother, Race of mother, Age of mother, Address of mother, Signature of Mother and date.

Ditto information on the father, plus Occupation, signature and date.

It's nice to have the Hospital Certificate, sorta like a graduation diploma, but it carries little to no weight if you want to obtain a Passport. For that you'd need a Certificate of Live Birth from the State Registrar with all the information above and all the signatures and details.

Wait one......There's also the Seal. The Official Seal of the State of Hawaii at the top of the certificate is very nice but the seal used on both the Hospital Certificate and the Registrar's Certification is a punched seal (like a Notary's) over the signature and date of the Registrar.
