FAQ

Good questions, straight answers.

Every certificate costs €34.99 - sick leave, fitness, sports fitness and general medical. A sports fitness certificate stays valid for 12 months. The price includes the doctor’s review, your certificate PDF, and same-day email delivery. There is nothing added at checkout.
A certificate from a registered doctor is valid whether the consultation happened online or in person, and employers generally accept it on that basis. Yours carries the doctor’s name, registration number and signature, so an employer can confirm it is genuine rather than take it on trust. Acceptance for very short absences can still depend on your employer’s own policy, so check your staff handbook.
Most certificates are reviewed and issued within about 30 minutes. It can take longer at busy periods, or if the doctor needs more detail or a short video call before deciding. Your PDF arrives by email as soon as it is approved.
Yes. What makes a certificate valid is that a properly registered doctor made a genuine clinical assessment - not whether you were in the room. Every certificate includes the doctor’s credentials, registration number, digital signature and a unique verification code.
You get a full refund, automatically. If your case needs an in-person examination or falls outside what can be assessed online, the doctor will say so and, where useful, point you to the right next step. You only pay for a certificate that is actually issued.
It depends on who is asking. For work or school absence you need a sick leave certificate. For gym membership or general activity clearance, a fitness certificate. For training and competition, a sports fitness certificate. For insurance, a visa, university or legal paperwork, a general medical certificate. The services page compares all four side by side.
A parent or guardian can request one for a child, and a carer can request one for the person they look after. Complete the assessment on their behalf with accurate medical history. Where the person is an adult who can answer for themselves, they should complete it themselves.
Yes. Our doctors are registered across Europe and the EEA, and certificates are recognised in 40+ countries. Some official processes - visas in particular - may additionally require translation or notarisation, so confirm the exact requirement with whoever is asking for it.
In the UK you can self-certify for the first 7 calendar days and need a fit note from day 8. Elsewhere the window is usually 2–3 days from the start of the absence. Same-day delivery means you can meet either deadline, but send it on as soon as it arrives.
