# Create a new form submission

`POST /forms/submissions`

Creates a new form submission. When createPractitioner is true, also creates or links a practitioner (using data.practitionerData) and a portal crosswalk; returns the form submission response with certifyId and providerCreated. Form submission is created first; on failure the request fails without creating a practitioner.
