Hawaii will issue birth certificates for children born outside of Hawaii, as a number of other states will do. However, those certificates show the birth location as a foreign country.

"However, those certificates show the birth location as a foreign country."

Not it the parents LIE, and "say" the child was born in Hawaii, but provide no proof, such as a Birth Certificate with a foot print on it.

How do you know this? I have read that Children born aboard a ship in transit have their birth listed as having occurred *IN* Hawaii.

I think if a woman filled out (in 1961) an affidavit of at home birth, Hawaii would have accepted it and initiated all the appropriate paperwork. My recollection is that the mother had up to a year to bring the child in for verification.

“Hawaii will issue birth certificates for children born outside of Hawaii, as a number of other states will do. However, those certificates show the birth location as a foreign country.”

Correct. One thing to remember however is that the law allowing for such a process was only passed in 1982.
