If the certifier is not electronic, the funeral director prints out a paper copy and delivers or sends it to the certifier If the certifier is electronic, the certifier enters their portion of the record into the system. If they are paper, the complete the Medical Certificate and submit it directly to the Department of Health. Upon completion of both parties, the record is assigned a state file number.
