DeCosta was born in Hawaii when a territory. A birth certificate is on file for DeCosta from 1930 when it was a territory (a long form) from which info for this form is generated. When it became a state they started issuing state forms so, Yes, this form we are looking at here is recent.

Do you want it to say “Born in the territory of Hawaii?” That was probably changed on statehood. But would be interesting to check out — think I will.

I'm not being deliberately picky, just curious. If a person was born in the City of Brooklyn in 1897, the year before it merged with NYC, I am practically certain that any BC issued after 1898 would contain the info from Brooklyn not NYC.

There are plenty of people born in Hawaii prior to 1960. Do their COLBs say state or territorial registrar? if they say state then I'll stand corrected.
