Here is an example of a Hawaiian Long Form
http://www.wnd.com/images/misc/longform.jpg
One from 1961 (i dont click on links to WND , but Im assuming its the Nordyke BC's)
if Mrs. Nordyke or the twins went to Hawaii today, and requested a copy of their COLB, this what they would get too.
Here is mine:
Ordered in 2010. I also have one from 2006 and from 1999 (why so many copies? because like my own original copy my parents lost, I can't find the copies I ordered as I only need to produce one if I'm getting a job or need fill out paperwork that requires it)
The only difference is that in 2008, they changed the title of their form to Certificate of Live Birth, instead of Certification of Live Birth
The above is good enough:
for a passport
to get a drivers license
to file IRS Tax documents
As for why Obama doesn't have his original copy (like I do). Maybe his parents lost it (like mines did)? Maybe through the moving from Hawaii to Indonesia and then back to Hawaii in 1971 it got destroyed or misplaced (paper does so well in humid countries)? I don't know, nor does it matter.
Did you miss the part in my response that in the 50 years that Hawaii has been a State, the form has changed with time reflecting on laws that have been passed and what is really needed to be in a Birth Certificate? Of course you did, because you're delusional.
Do you stand corrected, or do you still maintain that there was no Long Form at the time of Obama's birth?
Again there IS NO SUCH THING AS LONG FORM birth certificate.
IT has always been a Certificate of Live Birth or a Certification of Live Birth (the name on the form has changed over the years, back and forth between the two). THE CONTENT has changed over the 50 years to reflect CURRENT LAWS on what is NEEDED to be on a COLB for identification and citizenship purposes! To be a natural born all it has to show is WHERE YOU WERE BORN, WHEN YOU WERE BORN and if an official has signed off on it (the registrar at the Department of Health).
EVERYTHING ELSE is just information that the CDC would like to have. Other than it serves NO Purpose to the average joe and isn't used for citizenship issues.
