In order to obtain certified copies.
And the only certified copies the DOH provides are COLB.
It doesn't say certified copies on the genealogy request page...it just says copies.
Who is Eligible to Apply for a Genealogy Request?
Any private individual or individual employed, endorsed, or sponsored by a governmental or private organization or agency, working on genealogy projects may apply for issuance of copies of vital records on file with the Department of Health.
Any applicant seeking issuance of copies of vital records of events that occurred seventy-five years or less prior to the current year must establish a direct and tangible interest in the records to be eligible for them (see Certified Copies for more information).
An applicant need not establish a direct and tangible interest in vital records of events that occurred more than seventy-five years prior to the current year to apply for these records.

Your argument is faulty -just because the DOH doesn't issue a certified copy of the long form as
proof of birth doesn't mean they can't provide regular (non-certified) copies for other uses, such as genealogical research.
In fact we've proved that they do provide copies for genealogical research.
I can't remember if I had asked you this question before missourian, but what is it on the original birth certificate, that the Birthers think they will see, that will confirm that he was born in Hawaii as the Certified and Stamped certified with signature (Notarized) Certification of Live Birth stated?
The original, will have all other information redacted imo, that does not relate to the one and only issue at hand, where it says Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii....we are not tracing his genealogy...?
Even if the Birthers had their day in court and got the original, all other info on the original not on the COLB, would be redacted imo.
