§338-16 Procedure concerning late and altered birth certificates. (a) Birth certificates registered one year or more after the date of birth, and certificates which have been altered after being filed with the department of health, shall contain the date of the late filing and the date of the alteration and be marked distinctly “late” or “altered”.
It doesn't say anything about marking the short form certification (Obamas' COLB) that's issued in lieu of any of the 3 types of certificates that can be on file. I think it's saying it'd be those certificates which would themselves be marked, and probably have a reference to: "Such evidence shall be kept in a special permanent file.". And on a long form certificate, I think the last line on the form is where any such information would be filled in.
Also, note that on Obamas' certification, it's marked as "filed" as opposed to "accepted". Still trying to figure that one out.

In any case, according to Obama's COLB, his birth certificate was filed on August 8th, 1961, when he was only 4 days old, not more than a year late.
