It would be in the Q&A part of the eligibility hearing, if there’s transcript. There was a stenographer there, but I don’t know if the state of Kansas posts the transcripts on its website.

Here is a copy of the transcript (starting on page 84).

Personally, I do not see where SoS Kobach questioned the validity of the previous verifications.

Unless I missed something these are the only relevant exchanges:

Kansas Hearing Transcript starting on line 20 of page 120

SECRETARY KOBACH: I would note that there is – that this case – similar cases have been raised in other states, and I have inquired as to what factual information was presented in other states, specifically Arizona and Mississippi, and there have been certifications, including one that is in our packet given to a court in Mississippi by the State of Hawaii certifying – certifying that the birth certificate on the website of the White House is consistent with or I’m not sure – I can’t remember the exact phrasing but contains the same information as the certificate.

MR. BRYANT: The Information matches I think is what that letter –

SECRETARY KOBACH: Information matches, yes, the information matches the one on file. One option for this Board on the factual question might be to seek some kind of certification or some of the information that’s been provided to other bodies if we felt that was necessary to resolve the factual question.

And at line 7 of page 126

SECRETARY KOBACH: Well, I agree with the Attorney General that it is disappointing that the legal representatives for the Obama campaign did not provide a more robust response as far as certification or other legal documents. My inclination is to see if documents that were provided to other states could be provided to the State of Kansas so that we can make a decision with everything on the table. But I understand your point, Mr. Attorney General, that the standard is going to be high regardless of whether such documents are present. If we did do that we would have potentially Monday to reconvene and evaluate whatever documentation was presented. I’m merely suggesting this as an option. We could request the State of Hawaii and the other two states provide the information they have in a certified form.
