If you can obtain Virginia Sunahara’s BC with her mother’s signature attesting to the event of Virginia’s birth, then it will have a date accepted by the registrar. Otherwise, it’s a date filed after a Court order instructing the registrar to file the birth record.
Witness attestations = date accepted.
Court order = date filed backdated to the date the registrar would have accepted if witness attestations had been accepted.
Think about the big picture. How does someone get into the Courthouse records and have one page removed from the divorce record and everyone working in the courthouse stands firm to assert nothing is wrong? If you’re Orly Taitz, then you think it’s a conspiracy and everyone is in on it.
Or, you realize Obama’s Original Long Form BC was sealed and archived by Court order after the Soetoro adoption was finalized. A sealed and archived document becomes legally invalid in all courts in all jurisdictions. It is likely the Court ordered the Original Long Form BC removed from the Dunham-Obama divorce record after the Court ordered the Soetoro adoption finalized.
That could be how they do stuff with adoptions but there would be no way to tell if “date filed” was because of an adoption or if it was just the date that the document made it into a DOH office, like Virginia Sunahara’s.
The whole “date filed” is a computer label for a field. On the actual birth certificates it has either date received or date accepted, and either by the local registrar or the state registrar. Those terms make much more sense. What Okubo seems to have said was that they went (sometime in the mid-2000’s was what was being claimed by others, I think) from having separate computer fields for “date received” and “date accepted”, to having one field called “Date filed” - because they started filing all their BC’s electronically so that everything was instantaneous. The software wouldn’t let you submit something until you had everything necessary and within the parameters they were supposed to be, IIRC from the data entry manual for the CDC’s new software specs. So basically as soon as you were able to send it in it was accepted, if I understand correctly.
