That turns out to be wrong. The state itself requires a long form certificate for purposes of the Hawaii Lands program, and the US State department does likewise under certain conditions.
The long form just takes longer to get, because someone has to drag out the file and xerox it, and then stamp the copy with the state seal.

Primary Documents
The primary documents used to show you are of age and a qualified native Hawaiian are:
* A certified copy of Certificate of Birth;
* A certified copy of Certificate of Hawaiian Birth,
including testimonies; or
* A certified copy of Certificate of Delayed Birth.
You will need the certified birth certificates for:
* Yourself
* Your biological father; and
* Your biological mother
The state Department of Health, (DOH), Vital Records Section, records documents by island and district (geographically) and by the date of the event (chronologically).
If your biological parents' documents don't clearly prove that you have at least 50 percent Hawaiian ancestry, you will also need certified birth certificates for:
* Your biological father's parents; and
* Your biological mother's parents.
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.
Please note that DOH no longer offers same day service. If you plan on picking up your certified DOH document(s), you should allow at least 10 working days for DOH to process your request(s), OR four to six weeks if you want your certified certificate(s) mailed to you.
So they will issue one. And they'll issue one for other purposes as well. Nice talking point, but it's wrong.
I did not realize that Obama was claiming to be a “native” Hawaiian and applied for the Home Lands Program.
This is to prove Hawaiian ancestry.
The only verification of birth that the state of Hawaii issues is the Certification of Live Birth that Obama posted a photoshopped copy of on the web. The state of Hawaii does not issue long form Certifications
