All these accolades for Onaka yet the forms Hawaii issues seem to be the weakest in country in terms of security features.

In fact, the old ‘Peter Boy’ COLB issued in 1991 has much more security features than modern COLBs. It used VOIDSecure paper and had a very fine border.

Hawaii’s documents have been dumbed down over time and on Onaka’s watch.

Well, you know what ‘they’ say, the more awards they get the more you have to be suspicious of what the awards and accolades are really hiding.

Correct. Onaka wrote a paper in 2005 called Birth Certificate Integrity: Strengthening National Security. In it he cites Section 7211 of the Intelligence Reform Act of 2004. Here is the part:

purposes that—

(A) at a minimum, shall require certification of the birth certificate by the State or local government custodian of record that issued the certificate, and shall require the use of safety paper or an alternative, equally secure medium, the seal of the issuing custodian of record, and other features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting,or otherwise duplicating the birth certificate for fraudulent purposes;

Now according to the Act, Hawaii BC would not be accepted by the Federal government :

shall require certification of the birth certificate by the State or local government custodian of record that issued the certificate ( THEY DO THAT )

shall require the use of safety paper or an alternative, equally secure medium, (THEY DO THAT )

the seal of the issuing custodian of record, (THEY DO THAT)

and other features designed to prevent tampering, counterfeiting,or otherwise duplicating the birth certificate for fraudulent purposes; (THEY DON’T DO THAT )

Like you mentioned, there are no additional security features to prevent tampering. That is what I have always found lacking with Hawaii. ANY certified form I have ever received, be it school transcripts, things from state of local governments, ALL had an additional security feature built in. If you scanned the copy, you would see something like VOID all across the page. Hawaii’s “security paper” doesn’t do that.

It seems pretty ironic that the guy ( Onaka ) writing about security in BC’s has the weakest security of all the states to prevent tampering or counterfeiting.
