That's not what I'm referring to.
HI's types of BC's are what I'm referring to.
They are along these lines (they've changed slightly over the years)
1) One issued by a physician or midwife that attended to the birth.
2) One issued by the state if the child is less than one year old and by word of mouth testimony from an adult.
3) Same as 2 except the child is more than one year old and has an endorsement from the Lieutenant Governor.
4) One issued by the state if the child is born outside of the state or country, but the parents can claim Hawaii as their legal residence for more than one year prior to the child's birth.
That's what drives the birthers IMO.

When I recently applied for a passport (approx. 2 years ago) I presented them with the original hospital birth certificate from the Columbia Hospital for Women in DC and they (post office) said that was not an official birth certificate (which it absolutely was or used to be) and I had to get a certified copy of one from the District of Columbia. So much for originals. Which "original" will you recognize?
