Vendome, you and himno hero are confusing the modern era document known as a Certification of Live Birth, with the Certificate of Live Birth.

They are different documents.

The Certification of Live Birth is a computer generated facsimile of the original Certificate of Live Birth, but contains only the most basic information, incident to someone’s birth.

The green document is a Certification of Live Birth. The state of Hawaii routinely issues these to anyone for whom they hold a Certificate of Live Birth (also known as a long form birth certificate).

I don’t know when the state of Hawaii began issuing these computer generated substitutes, but the fact of their existence is what made it possible for someone in Obama’s camp to forge something to fool the public with.

Hawaii actually holds Barack Obama’s original long form birth certificate, but they cannot release it to anyone without his permission. The entire controversy over the birth certificate rests upon the fact that Obama will not allow public inspection of the original document, which has the full detail of the circumstances of his birth on it.

I may add, that Obama did not need to have been born in the state of Hawaii for them to have a copy of his original birth certificate on file. That’s the way the filing rules worked in Hawaii at the time of his birth.

Seriously?  We are confused.  I have both forms for my own identification.  The long form is the only valid one The State Department will accept to process and approve your passport.  They don't mess around either. 

Forget to fill out a line- Denied. 

Provide less than adequate identification-Denied

 

Okay, maybe you are new to this topic and have not seen my previous post regarding this
