The instructions to form 8606 say to file it with your tax return if you are required to file a tax return. Otherwise, you can file it separately. That is open for interpretation, but it does indicate that it can be filed separately in some circumstances.
I would probably by OK to file it separately by certified mail so you have a record of having filed it.
