Registration of births and deaths was introduced for the first time in Kenya in 1904 and applied only to Europeans and Americans. However, in 1928 the Registration Act Cap 149 was enacted and provided for the compulsory registration of the deaths of Africans but not for their births.

So this seems to indicate that Obama, as a child of an American, could actually have been registered in 1961 in Kenya as indicated on the most recent BC. Maybe the 1964 signature date was when the records were updated after the 1963 law was put in place? It definitely does say it was first recorded in 1961.

That's a possibility, as well.

Most have suggested that the 1964 date corresponds to the time of the O sr divorce. They had to send off to get a record of the birth. Therefor the 64 date stamp.

The 1964 date is the date of attestation for the seal that the information is correct and authentic. Your own birth certificate would be the same. The seal is placed and then signed by the clerk

Yes, but it doesn’t say he was born in Hawaii and just registered in Kenya. It gives his birth PLACE as Coast General Hospital, Mombasa
