Of course, no one can make anyone believe an official statement from the State of Hawaii and I don't expect that many (who don't like the answer from them) will accept it.
But, that's what they have said, officially, nonetheless... :-)
And for the vast majority of the public (consisting of both conservatives and liberals), they will take the agency who produces the very form, the certified copy -- as having a whole lot more credibility than some posters online... LOL...
I mean, what do you expect, they are the ones who have all the original information in their documentation and they are the ones who issue any "certified copies"... :-)
Sure, didn't you know the good doc has the power to make Ozero's dad a US Citizen posthumously and retroactively.

” ...1982, § 338-17.8 of the revised laws of Hawaii..”
“Certificates for children born out of State. ( a ) Upon application of an adult or the legal parents of a minor child, the director of health shall issue a birth certificate for such adult or minor, provided that proof has been submitted to the director of health that the legal parents of such individual while living without the Territory or State of Hawaii had declared the Territory or State of Hawaii as their legal residence for at least one year immediately preceding the birth or adoption of such child.
“( b ) Proof of legal residency shall be submitted to the director of health in any manner that the director shall deem appropriate. The director of health may also adopt any rules pursuant to chapter 91 that he or she may deem necessary or proper to prevent fraudulent applications for birth certificates and to require any further information or proof of events necessary for completion of a birth certificate.
“( c ) The fee for each application for registration shall be established by rule adopted pursuant to chapter 91. [L 1982, c 182, §1]
“We thus asked to the Court to take judicial notice of the fact the laws of Hawaii, as late as 1982, ... allowed then and do allow to this day for a child born out of state to receive something called a “birth certificate,” even though the child was not in fact born in Hawaii but was born outside Hawaii. Thus a Hawaii official might assert that a person had a “birth certificate” that was on file with the state or had been on file with the state but that assertion doesn’t prove that a child was born in Hawaii.”

“What in fact the territorial statute in effect before the 1982 statute sets out is an even greater latitude enabling and entitling persons to register a child for up to a year after its birth and to do so, if not attended by a locally licensed physician or midwife, for the parents or one of them to fill out the birth certificate or for a “local registrar” to fill out a birth certificate “from anyone having knowledge of the birth.” Thus a child born outside of Hawaii and attended by a non-Hawaii licensed health care provider or born unattended could get a Hawaii birth certificate nonetheless.”
