Your question could have multiple answers depending on your meaning.
A Certificate of Live Birth is usually considered as a long form, or exact, certified copy of the original birth certificate, conforming to the Hawaii statute HRS 338-13. However, this isn't always the case as the phrase isn't defined in Hawaiian Law and document revisions over the years may not be consistent.

Is a certificate of live birth a birth certificate in Hawaii?
Yes
Does the State of Hawaii have two different documents as birth records Certification of Live Birth and Certificate of Live Birth and what is the difference in the two?
In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth is a long form birth certificate. The Certification of Live Birth is the short form birth certificate. The long form contains more information than the short form. The Certification is computer generated utilizing the information from the long form birth certificate. It shows the date the long form was filed. If a Certificate of Live Birth (long form) does not exist, the state of Hawaii will issue a No Record Certification. A short form birth certificate from Hawaii is acceptable proof of birth and citizenship when applying for a US passport, but a short form birth certificate from California or Texas is not.
How long has Hawaii issued only a certification of live birth in short form rather than a long form birth certificate?
Hawaii has never issued the long form; it is kept in state records only.
Is a certificate of live birth the same as a birth certificate in Virginia?
Yes.
Why doesn't Barack Obama release his birth certificate?
It is a myth that the president hasn't released his birth certificate. He has. Many times. It has been verified (both the Certificate of Live Birth and the Long-Form Birth Certificate) and shown to be legitimate by officials in Hawaii, where he was born. Journalists have seen it. Fact-checkers have seen it. Politicians from both parties have seen it. But there are a group of people called Birthers who refuse to accept the fact that the president was born in Hawaii, no matter how much credible evidence and verification is presented.
What does certificate of live birth mean?
A certificate of live birth is you birth certificate that says,"So and So was born alive at Insert Time on Insert Date." ------- That is false. A Certificate of Live Birth is NOT a Birth Certificate. The data from Birth Certificates is transcribed into a computer database and COLBs are generated from that information. While COLBs are generally accepted in lieu of the BC, it is not the same thing.
Did President Obama produce an original birth certificate stating he was born in Hawaii or a certificate of live birth which is not a legal birth certificate?
Yes. Although this was not required, there was never an official concern about his eligibility to be President, and he was the first and only President to ever provide this. He provided both a Certificate of Live Birth (which in Hawaii is officially considered equal to the Birth Certificates given out in other states) and he also has provided a copy of the "long form" version. To see a copy of this use the link in the related links section below to the Fight the Smears website. Public health officials in Hawaii and the Republican Governor there have repeatedly confirmed President Obama's birth in Honolulu and the validity of his birth certificate and citizenship. Give this a rest, people - there are important issues to discuss. ---------------- That answer is bogus. Nobody has seen Barak Obama's birth certificate or even a certified copy of that document. The document referenced above is a Certificate of Live Birth which is, theoretically, an abstract of a hospital generated birth certificate. Obviously, transcription errors are possible as is the possibility of deliberate tampering especially where money and powerful people are involved. There was also an issue with the fact that Hawaii allowed verbal testimony when the birth was not in a hospital. Suffice it to say that a COLB should be adequate to establish eligibility for the most powerful job in the World today. Do we really want to trust such a document to verify the eligibility of our POTUS? Can you think of a more important issue to discuss than the validity and continuation of the Constitution.
Is Obama really an American?
Probably not because he hasn't shown America a real birth certificate so that means he probably wasn't born here. Your Welcome. Actually Obama supporters have produced a certificate of live birth that shows he was born in Hawaii.
Can one obtain a US Passport using a Hawaiian 'Certificate of Live Birth' as proof of us citizenship only?
No, a Hawaiian 'Certificate of Live Birth' alone is not sufficient proof of US citizenship to obtain a US passport. In order to obtain a passport, you need to provide an original or certified copy of a US birth certificate, naturalization certificate, Certificate of Citizenship, or a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, along with other required documents and forms.
Did President Obama produce a birth certificate stating that he was born in Hawaii?
During his campaign for president during 2008, Barack Obama produced a copy of his certificate of live birth in the United States to the public for official circulation. ----------------- The above answer is true however the answer to your question is no. To date, nobody has seen Barack Obama's birth certificate. The document referenced above is a Certificate of Live Birth which is, theoretically, an abstract of a hospital generated birth certificate. Obviously, transcription errors are possible as is the possibility of deliberate tampering especially where money and powerful people are involved. There was also an issue with the fact that Hawaii allowed verbal testimony when the birth was not in a hospital. Suffice it to say that a COLB should be adequate to establish eligibility for the most powerful job in the World today.
Why is Obama refusing to release his birth certificate?
It is a myth that the president has "refused" to release his birth certificate. He has released it on a number of occasions. It has been verified (both the Certificate of Live Birth and the Long-Form Birth Certificate) and shown to be legitimate by officials in Hawaii, where he was born. Journalists have seen it. Fact-checkers have seen it. Politicians from both parties have seen it. It is even posted online so that you can see it too. I enclose the link. But there are a group of people called Birthers who refuse to accept the fact that the president was born in Hawaii, no matter how much credible evidence and verification is presented.
Did President Obama present a birth certificate yet?
There is a certificate of Live Birth on file to be accessed on the White House website.
