(a) obtain from the clerk, from the registrar of the court, or from the court where there is no clerk or registrar, a certified copy or a certificate of the order, judgment or conviction, and
(b) forward it to the Registrar, within fifteen days from the date on which the order, judgment or conviction becomes final by affirmation upon appeal, or by expiry without appeal of the time allowed for appeal, as the case may be, in the manner acceptable to the Registrar, together with an affidavit verifying that the judgment remains unpaid in full or in part and specifying the full name and address of the judgment debtor.
