when Maya was born in 1970 In Indonesia is the fact that her mother was working at the U.S. Embassy and could have simply registered Maya’s birth at the Embassy on the advice of people who worked there which would be enough to apply for a certification of live birth from Hawaii.

OK, but if she was born in 1970, in Indonesia, of an Indonesian father, Maya would be Indonesian. Did she give up her Indonesian citizenship to become an American?

We have no idea but Ann would have known that Lolo would have been given custody in the event of a divorce and she could have taken care of the matter when she was in Hawaii in 1971.(The marriage was already almost over when Maya was born) Maya did return to Hawaii to attend Punahou when she was 14, before then she either accompanied Ann while she was conducting field research or she got dropped off to her paternal grandparents.
The problems began when an interview was conducted with both Barack and Maya and they gave the name of Queen’s Hospital as being where he was born. In an interview a couple of years later the name of another hospital was given.
