Your original birth certificate is not just the 1st one you were issued with (most don’t last more than 10 years). An original birth certificate is ANY that is issued from the department that holds the record, for example I was born in 1984, my original birth certificate has the issue date of 2006 on it, is it my original? YES! The one I had before that got ripped and worn out, was it an original also? YES!
Well, the state of Hawaii seems to believe there is a difference between the two documents:
In order to process your application, DHHL utilizes information that is found only on the original Certificate of Live Birth, which is either black or green. This is a more complete record of your birth than the Certification of Live Birth (a computer-generated printout). Submitting the original Certificate of Live Birth will save you time and money since the computer-generated Certification requires additional verification by DHHL.
Learn how these things work.

Thanks, that actually back up what I said. Also if you look at Obamas original birth cert provided (google it) it's green!
