First, it’s not a long form birth certificate. It’s a certificate of Live Birth. You can see it on the top of the form. I’m pretty convinced it’s a fake.
And I agree with your question... If this is it why did he hold it back for so long?
Answer: Because this is NOT it....
I laughed at the lame brain excuse from the White House of oh we had to wait get permission from the State of Hawaii to release it B.S.
LOL!
It is a butt whoopin’ but if you have the patience read through this whole thread:

I downloaded the file off the WH site and went through each post to see if I agreed with what some of the people think they are seeing. There are a hundred things people bring up, I tried to run each down to my own satisfaction and ended up thinking it is probably legit. Again, I could be getting fed full of bad info, but a lot of what is in there made sense to me.
Hawaii destroyed all the paper records back in 2001ish and all the info was entered into a database. Why on earth they would do that is beyond me but it appears that is the situation. Somebody in HDoH printed the files and bound them into hard copies, that is what was scanned. No, it is not the original document, but seems to be all there is now, hence the lack of what was released having the same appearance as the Nordyke BCs, which were photocopyed back in the 60s. It may even be that HI didn’t keep “LFBCs” back then, I’m not sure if that point has been settled.
Man, if only real forensics guys could get their hands on the docs that currently exist instead of some very questionable computer file. That is the only way this question might be answered. And even that might just bring up more questions. Some people think the number on the document was actually from some girl that was born the same week as BO but died. That right there could be resolved by getting access to the state records of deaths around that time, but I doubt we’ll ever see those.
This is a very spooky situation, almost like the assassination of JFK. We may never know the answers beyond everyone’s doubt.
