This document seems to be a correct document, just not what is claimed. See: http://suitablyflip.com/suitably_flip/2008/06/kos-tries-to-pa.html
But there’s a bigger problem here than the document’s chain of custody. It involves the difference between a “Certificate of Live Birth” and a “Certification of Live Birth”. This is the latter, despite Kos’ identification of it as the former.
Per the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (a state agency that happens to detail the difference):
In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.
Indeed, the Kos document offers scant details, limited to name, gender, date, location, and names and races of parents.
Thanks for the clarification.
Again, it seems logical that we should demand that Obama give permission for trustworthy persons and/or legitimate investigative reporters to access his birth records directly from the state of Hawaii, and not from an untrustworthy third party, converted to an internet image, and authorized by some anonymous person.
The certificate, as you say, not the certification.

No governmental institution I've ever dealt with has ever accepted the Certification -- but instead have requested I supply them with a Certificate of Live Birth. Medical institutions in CA. Public School places. And how do I know this, because I got the two documents confused; and officials told me they do not accept the Certification; but require the actual Certificate of Live Birth.
