No, that law was revised in 1982. It has been in effect in one form or another even before Hawaii became a state. Also according to the current law, he could walk in today and ask for a copy himself:

[§338-17.8] Certificates for children born out of State.

(a) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.

There is nothing in the current law that says how long after the birth the application has to be made.

good observation. maybe the application was made in June 2007, and that's why the date-stamp that bled through from the back of the fightthesmears Certification of Live Birth says 6 June 2007.

However the Certificate of Live Birth for an out of state birth will never and has never said that the place of birth was/is Hawaii.
Obama’s Certificate of Live Birth says that he was born in the City of Honolulu, in the County of Honolulu, on the Island of Oahu on August 4, 1961 at 7:24 P.M. His birth was registered with the Hawaii Department of Health on August 7, 1961 and his birth notices appeared in the local Honolulu newspapers, The Advertiser and the Star-Bulliten on the following Sunday, August 13, 1961. There was no out-of-state birth or delayed notice of birth.
