I got married in Fl with a California drivers’ license and nothing else.
Apparently the HI passport office did not yet get the memo. They told a poster on FR that it would not be a problem with a COLB. This is going to get very interesting.
Excellent. This is the beginning of the end. Think of the legal ramifications of this.....
Are you the President of the United States? Perhaps he should be be held to a slightly higher standard.....
You are totally right. The law cannot be changed on the whim of a state employee. I dont’ care what state you are from.
Is there no law in Hawaii?
At this point, Hawaii should pick up all the loses
of America for their fraud against the American people.
No, just a point of information.

Thats a good point, however, it is harder to erase those emails than you might think. I am not gonna say much about that. I don’t want to give anyone any ideas...
I’m updating my passport and there are new requirements:
New U.S. Birth Certificate Requirement
Beginning April 1, 2011, the U.S. Department of State will require the full names of the applicant’s parent(s) to be listed on all certified birth certificates to be considered as primary evidence of U.S. citizenship for all passport applicants, regardless of age. Certified birth certificates missing this information will not be acceptable as evidence of citizenship. This will not affect applications already in-process that have been submitted or accepted before the effective date.
For more information, see 22 CFR 51.42(a).
To obtain a new birth certificate, see the CDC.
In addition to this requirement, certified copies of birth certificates must also include the following information to be considered acceptable primary evidence of U.S. citizenship:
Full name of the applicant
Date of birth
Place of birth
Raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal of issuing authority
Registrar’s signature
The date the certificate was filed with the registrar’s office (must be within one year)
If you have a birth certificate that does not meet these requirements, please see Secondary Evidence of U.S. Citizenship.

This is surreal if true. I think commiecrats will stoop to anything to win their goal.

Trump has people investigating this in Hawaii
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2701040/posts
and all of a sudden no long form needed?
I’m in and out today (mostly out) so I haven’t read what’s been posted so far, but they can’t change the Administrative Rules without an elaborate process including public hearings that are publicized in newspapers ahead of time, etc. The Administrative Rules say that a person can’t get the confidential medical portion of the “standard birth certificate” (long-form, as opposed to the COLB which is technically called an “abbreviated birth certificate”) UNLESS THEY SPECIFICALLY REQUEST IT.
To make this change to say they won’t release certified copies of their standard birth certificates AT ALL, they would have to go through the legal process to amend the Administrative Rules.
The HDOH has repeatedly tried to change Administrative Rules without using the proper procedure. When they tried to charge $7 for each individual piece of index data I contacted the Ombudsman’s Office or OIP (can’t remember which one) to say that they had not followed proper procedures to change that - since Hawaii law says that an increase in price over a certain percentage from the previous price must be done by going through the legal rule change process. The HDOH ended up having to undo that $7/item fee.
This is just one more example of the HDOH breaking the laws and rules to cover for Obama. These people have declared outright war on the law-abiding people, the legislature, and the rule of law.
We need to LOUDLY PROTEST, asking to see when they notified the public of a hearing, when the hearing was conducted, and when the governor signed to say when the start date for the rule change would be. Because the HDOH Administrative Rules directly provide for an applicant to receive EVEN THE CONFIDENTIAL MEDICAL PORTION OF THE STANDARD BIRTH CERTIFICATE, and because UIPA requires that if a record CAN be released it MUST be released, this change would have to involve the legal rule change procedure. Otherwise the rule change is not in effect.
This is gaining more and more trappings of a conspiracy and cover up.
And to imagine the Watergate Conspiracy was nothing more than a cover up over a 2-bit burglary of a political opponents office.
Important Difference Between a Certificate - vs. Certification - of Live Birth
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2011/04/important_difference_between_a.html
I’m not sure that short form birth certificate would be adequate to get a US passport or even a driver’s license under the new federal standards.
Not to worry. I am confident Mr. Trump already pegged some of the best lawyers to be had before tackling the issue. They’re just waiting to start their timers on his go-ahead.
Thank you, Mr. Trump.
May they all rot in hell for this.
