provides proof that such registrant has complied with the rules and
regulations of said tribunal following entry of a final decision.
Thereafter and upon the appearance or answer of any such person in
response to such summonses the trial court or clerk thereof shall
forthwith certify that fact to the registrant, and to the commissioner
in a manner and form prescribed by the commissioner. In the case of an
administrative tribunal such certification shall be made to the
registrant and to the commissioner upon compliance with the rules and
regulations of such tribunal. Provided, however, that proof provided to
the commissioner by a registrant in the form of a certification provided
to such registrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have the same effect
as proof provided to the commissioner by such court or administrative

the parent or guardian of such minor person; provided, however, that
transmittal of such notice of conviction shall not be required in any
