“So if a requirement for a long form exists (drivers license, security clearance, ...) and a person cannot get his/her long form from the state, then what? I smell a lawsuit in about 2 seconds.”
Ditto. You cannot get a passport with that COLB so what are people in HI supposed to do? You probably cannot get a marriage license in any other state with it either or a bunch of stuff. I guarantee you are not going to work for the State Dept or Boeing or Lockheed with that COLB.
This has got to be all because of Obama. If it actually is can you imagine what he must be hiding to go this far to avoid disclosure?

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)

I got married in Fl with a California drivers’ license and nothing else.
