All completed applications and medical examinations, except those for student pilots, unless otherwise directed by the FAA, must be transmitted electronically via AMCS within 14 days after completion to the AMCD. Student pilot examinations must be submitted within 7 days. These requirements also apply to submissions by International AMEs.
A record of the examination is stored in AMCS, however, Examiners are encouraged to print a copy for their own files. While not required, the Examiner may also print a summary sheet for the applicant.
