In theory it is all centralised these days (e.g. all forms are issued by the FIA themselves) - the idea being something like keeping a level playing field and trying to keep track of duplicate numbers etc.
Your local inspector appears to be your contact point for the gnomes and doesn't have the final say in whether a form is issued or not.
Unfortunately it sometimes appears that someone in head office doesn't know a lot about old cars - e.g. asking for a photo to prove that a 1,000cc F3 car had a single carburettor...
But it might be more realistic than the system whereby some inspectors used to insist that you filled in the section titled History (where known) with something etc.
