When an order of filiation is made, the clerk of the court shall forthwith transmit to the state commissioner of health on a form prescribed by him a written notification as to such order, together with such other facts as may assist in identifying the birth record of the person whose paternity was in issue. When it appears to the clerk that the person whose paternity was established was born in New York city, he shall forthwith transmit the written notification aforesaid to the commissioner of health of the city of New York instead of to the state commissioner of health.
