But it does not discuss who or how the student certificate is re-
issued.

Back when I started my glider training, I had to obtain a student's
certificate without taking a flight physical. It was then done through the FSBO
(no charge) or through any designee (whatever they decided to charge). I paid a
local designee to type one up for me.

How is it done for Sport Pilot students?
