Spanish term or phrase: si no va extendido en este impreso
Context: Official Medical Certificate

I'd like to know it my rendering is OK...

NOTA: Ningún Certificado Médico será válido si no va extendido en este impreso, editado por el Consejo General de Colegios Oficiales de Médicos de España, debiendo, además, llevar estampado el sello de Colegio Médico Provincial en que este certificado sea extendido.
NOTE: No Medical Certificate shall be valid if it is not entered in this form, edited by the General Council of The Official Spanish Medical Associations, and it will have to bear the seal of the Province Medical Association in which this certificates is entered.

English translation:no medical certificate
Explanation:
I suggest the following:
No Medical Certificate will be valid if not issued on this form, published by the General Council of The Official Spanish Medical Associations; it must also bear the seal of the Provincial Medical Association in which this certificate is issued.
(I changed 'shall' to 'will' as 'shall' tends to indicate obligation in this kind of context, e.g. patients shall present certificates ...)
