It is an official Certificate of live birth. I have no idea what a verification of live birth is or how to apply for one. That COLB was ordered by me and my island of birth was on the form which was complerly filled out by recollection of it I did not keep a copy of hat form. It was all done online, not through snail mail.
You want me to get ANOTHER Colb? I can’t answer why the island isn’t on there. I didn’t produce the colb. HDOH did. And everyone knows which island Honolulu is on for heavens sake. Whats it matter if its missing? Hawaii HDOH is FULL of inconsistancies!!
I am reluctant to do anything you ask at this point. I don’t think it will do any good. Certainly not enough to warrant ANOTHER 10 bucks+hassle. You are really gonna have to sell me on doing that at this point.

It matters if Oahu was present or not. The HDOH will only verify what is presented to them on an application to verify. If you didn’t ask for Oahu, Oahu wouldn’t appear.
And if that’s the case, you have a ‘Verification’ not a Certificate. In 2001, The Legislature passed this bill:
“Vital Records; Certificate Information
Description:
Allows for verification and certification of the existence of a birth, death, marriage, or divorce certificate and the essential facts of the vital event that are contained in the certificate in lieu of the issuance of a certified copy of the certificate.” http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2001/bills/SB1123_cd1_.htm
The HDOH Website says this:
“The verification process will not, however, disclose information about the vital event contained within the certificate that is unknown to and not provided by the applicant in the request.” http://hawaii.gov/health/vital-records/vital-records/vital_records.html
And if you check your receipt, you will see that you can order either a certified copy or a verification. Without the word ‘Oahu’ on your ‘Certification,’ it appears your COLB may not even be a copy of a certificate—which is something that is ON RECORD with the state.
You don’t have to do anything more, Danae. Not for me anyway. I would not expect you to.
I really do have to go but want to continue this conversation, if that’s ok with you? I will check for you later...
