There is no certificate of anything from Hawaii. All there have been are some disputed jpeg images which supposedly, if presented and valid, would not be sufficient documentation to enable one to obtain a passport.

There is a COLB. If accurate - and Hawaii officials have said it is - then it is all that is required for a passport. That is what I used (from Minnesota) to get an official passport (for government travel), and it is what my daughter used (from New Mexico) to get a regular passport.
If someone has evidence that it is a forgery, they are welcome to present it. Complaining that it is a jpeg and that a paper document hasn’t been mailed to every household in the USA won’t cut it...
