Once I went to get a certified copy of a death certificate and the clerk prepared it in front of me. They had the paper under lock and key at the vital records office. I remarked that I thought that was odd, and she responded that the plain paper goes for hundreds on the street.

I am wondering if just a bit of plain vital records paper somehow escaped Honolulu. It is just too strange. No signature. No certification.

I'd believe it given the state of illegal immigration today. At first thought, I wonder what kind of illegal immigration an island state in the middle of the Pacific Ocean might have, but the paper could be sent to the mainland for forgery of birth certificates. I wonder what the market demographics would be for forged Hawaiian birth certificates? I'd think it can't be Hispanics, because I don't recall Hispanics making up a large part of the Hawaiian population. Would it be Polynesian/Asian immigrants faking Hawaiian birth certificates?
