You can request a medical certificate in Andorra la Vella online for €34.99, with most cases decided the same day and the PDF sent straight to you. A registered doctor reviews what you report and issues a dated record of that assessment, usable with an employer, a school, a club, an insurer or an airline. It is supporting documentation only — it is not a CASS baixa certificate, and in Andorra it is the CASS medical certificate itself that constitutes the benefit request, so that route runs through a doctor inside the Andorran system.

Medical Certificates in Andorra la Vella: Who Needs Them?
Andorra la Vella is the capital of the Principality and one of its seven parishes, and it concentrates the functions that make the country work: the Consell General and the government, the banking and financial sector, professional services, and the retail trade along Avinguda Meritxell that draws shoppers up from Spain and France. Casa de la Vall, the historic seat of the General Council until 2011, still hosts the Council's traditional sessions while ordinary business moves to the modern parliament building. It is a capital city in function and a small town in scale.
That mix produces the documentation pattern of an administrative and commercial centre. Banks, professional firms and public bodies maintain written absence procedures with stated deadlines. Retail along the main avenues runs on shifts, weekend trading and seasonal peaks tied to the shopping and ski calendars. Between them, a great deal of the local demand for medical documentation is about recording an absence properly and about being cleared to return to a standing or customer-facing shift.
Andorra's statutory arrangement has one feature that matters more than anything else on this page, and it is easy to get wrong. Social security is administered by the CASS — the Caixa Andorrana de Seguretat Social — and for temporary incapacity from ordinary illness the benefit is 66% of the contribution base, paid from the fourth day of the initial medical certificate, subject to contribution conditions. The critical point is procedural: in the Andorran system, presenting the initial medical certificate and its extensions to the CASS is itself the request for the benefit, and the certificate has to be issued by a doctor or dentist attesting to the days of leave and the reason for them.
Which means our certificate is emphatically not that document, and saying so clearly is more use to you than any marketing claim. We do not issue CASS baixa certificates, we have no access to the Andorran system to do so, and we transmit nothing to the CASS. Handing our certificate to the CASS would not constitute a benefit request, because it is not the prescribed document. If CASS temporary-incapacity benefit is what you need, you need a doctor operating inside the Andorran system — the Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell in neighbouring Escaldes-Engordany is Andorra's only hospital, and there are primary care centres across the parishes.
What our certificate does do is cover the substantial territory that sits outside the CASS. Employers frequently want written documentation of an absence or of fitness to resume duties, independently of any benefit. Schools, clubs, gyms, event organisers, airlines and private insurers ask for a doctor's assessment for their own purposes and have nothing to do with the social-security scheme. Those are the cases for Sick Leave, Return to Work, Sports Fitness, General Fitness, Fit to Fly and General Medical, each at €34.99 — and cross-border workers, of whom Andorra la Vella has many, often need exactly that kind of documentation for a recipient on the Spanish or French side.
The administrative and financial centre
The Consell General, the government, the banking sector and professional services all sit in the capital, alongside Casa de la Vall, the Council's historic seat until 2011 and still the venue for its traditional sessions.
Retail along Avinguda Meritxell
The main shopping avenues draw visitors from Spain and France and run on shifts, weekend trading and seasonal peaks — so absence and return-to-shift documentation is a routine requirement.
A CASS certificate is the benefit request
In Andorra, presenting the initial medical certificate and its extensions to the CASS is itself the application for temporary-incapacity benefit. We do not issue that document and cannot substitute for it.
One hospital, in the next parish
Hospital Nostra Senyora de Meritxell in Escaldes-Engordany, opened in 1993, is Andorra's only hospital, with primary care centres distributed across the seven parishes.
A cross-border workforce
Many people working in the capital commute from the Alt Urgell area in Spain or from the French side, and often need documentation for a recipient in another country's system.
All Certificate Types Available in Andorra

Sick Leave Certificate
For work absence, documented as a baixa mèdica and generally coordinated with CASS where a sickness-benefit claim applies.
From €34.99Sports Fitness Certificate
For clubs, gradings, and competitions requiring medical clearance, including Andorra's skiing, hiking, and other mountain-sports clubs ahead of a season or grading.
From €34.99General Fitness Certificate
For gym membership sign-up where a health declaration is requested, a routine step at gyms across Andorra la Vella, Escaldes-Engordany, and beyond.
From €34.99General Medical Certificate

Doctor reviews your case
Reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Andorra, generally during Central European Time business hours, Monday-Friday.

Receive your PDF
Emailed same day, usually within a few hours on business days, with the reviewing doctor's details and a verification reference that your employer, school, club, or institution can scan to help confirm authenticity.
Who Accepts a Medical Certificate in Andorra la Vella
Acceptance rests with whoever asked for the document. These are the contexts where a dated registered-doctor assessment is normally what that means — and the one place it is not.
Banks, professional firms and public bodies
Written documentation of an absence is standard among the capital's regulated and professional employers. Your contract and absence policy set the deadline and the route; the certificate is the evidence, not the notification.
Retail and hospitality employers
A dated certificate from a registered doctor is the usual documentation for an absence from a shift, and a Return to Work certificate for resuming standing or customer-facing duties.
Schools and course providers
A General Medical certificate supports an absence from teaching or assessment. Institutions apply their own regulations on what they accept and by when.
Sports clubs and event organisers
Sports Fitness certificates support registration and entry where a doctor's declaration is requested. Federations can require their own screening instead, and where they do it takes precedence.
Private insurers and claim files
A dated assessment from a named registered doctor is commonly accepted as supporting evidence, including by insurers on the Spanish or French side. The insurer decides the claim.
Not the CASS
Temporary-incapacity benefit is applied for by presenting the prescribed medical certificate to the CASS. Ours is not that certificate, we submit nothing to the CASS, and presenting ours would not constitute a request.

Private consultation costs are a general range and vary by clinic and by the reason for the visit.
The gap between our pricing and a typical private consultation in Andorra generally reflects the difference between an online assessment and an in-person clinic visit. You're paying for the doctor's review and the certificate itself, not a waiting room or receptionist time. Given Andorra's small population and limited concentration of private clinics, a same-day online route is often the more practical option for many people needing documentation quickly, regardless of price. This gap tends to be smaller for specialised certificate types, like sports fitness or fit-to-fly, where finding a private clinic willing to issue same-day paperwork can take longer than the assessment itself.
Andorra Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Andorra la Vella
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Andorra la Vella exactly as it does anywhere else in Andorra.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Andorra online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. In Andorra, work absence is generally documented through a baixa mèdica (medical leave certificate), typically issued by a doctor and processed through CASS, Andorra's Social Security fund. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes, a separate certificate type usually applies. Exact requirements can vary by employer, so confirm specifics for your situation before relying on any one document. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Andorra, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Baixa mèdica: Catalan for "medical leave," the general term for a certificate documenting sickness absence |
|---|---|
| Who can issue it | Generally a licensed doctor; CASS's own rules also recognise a dentist as able to prescribe a baixa mèdica for dental-related leave |
| General timing | Per CASS's published rules, the baixa mèdica generally needs to reach both CASS and the employer within 48 hours of the doctor issuing it, though the informal step of telling your employer you're unwell can vary by workplace |
| Processed through | Typically routed through CASS (Caixa Andorrana de Seguretat Social), Andorra's Social Security fund, for sickness-benefit purposes |
| Sickness-benefit coordination | Where a CASS sickness-benefit claim applies, the baixa mèdica is generally the supporting document. CASS publishes a general rate structure for common illness (around 53% of the daily wage base for days 1-30, rising to about 66% from day 31), though your exact entitlement depends on your specific contribution and salary history, so confirm it with CASS directly |
| Employer notice practice | Because Andorra's private sector is small, the exact internal notification step (who to tell, and how quickly) commonly varies by employer and by whether a collective agreement applies to your role, rather than following one standardized national form |
| Data protection | Andorra is not an EU member state, so EU GDPR does not apply directly; Andorra maintains its own data protection framework |
Note on how firmly these details are sourced: Andorra publishes less standardized, English-language guidance on sick-leave procedure than larger EU states, and we have not been able to confirm a single authoritative source covering every employer type. Treat the rows above as general orientation rather than a legal reference, and confirm your specific notice period, required documentation, and CASS process directly with your employer or with CASS before relying on them for a specific case.
Our Andorra Medical Team
Every Andorra certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Andorra. We are not aware of a single centralised, English-language public register for doctors in Andorra in the way the UK's GMC provides, so rather than point you to a lookup we can't fully verify works the same way, we're direct about how the review works: a licensed doctor genuinely assesses your case, based on the information you provide and, where useful, follow-up questions, before deciding whether a certificate is appropriate.
A certificate is only issued after that genuine assessment. If a doctor decides a certificate is not clinically appropriate for your situation, for example because your case needs an in-person examination the online format cannot replace, we do not issue one, and you receive a full, automatic refund rather than being charged regardless. We do not operate on a pay-first, certificate-guaranteed basis for Andorra or anywhere else we operate.
Registered practitioners, not a call centre.
Every doctor is independently verified against their national medical council before they see a single patient - including for patients in Andorra la Vella.

Reg. #1028615Frequently Asked Questions
No, and in Andorra that distinction is unusually consequential. Presenting the prescribed initial medical certificate and its extensions to the CASS is itself the request for temporary-incapacity benefit, and it must come from a doctor or dentist attesting the days of leave and the reason. Our certificate is a dated record of a registered doctor's assessment for employers, schools, clubs and insurers — it is not the CASS document and presenting it in place of one would achieve nothing.
Not at all. For ordinary illness or a non-work accident the CASS benefit runs from the fourth day of the initial prescribed certificate, at 66% of the contribution base, subject to contribution conditions — and work accidents are treated differently again. None of that is influenced by anything we issue. If the timing or the rate matters to your situation, the CASS is the body to ask.
No. We do not transmit documents to the CASS, to an employer, to an insurer or to any Andorran administration, and we are not part of that process in any way. Everything the CASS requires you to present, and every deadline attached to it, remains yours to handle through a doctor inside the Andorran system.
Regulated and professional employers generally want written documentation of an absence, and a dated certificate naming the assessing doctor with a verification reference is the usual form. Some have prescriptive internal policies specifying a local practitioner or a particular channel. Ask your HR before relying on it, because a written policy will be applied as written.
Certificates are issued in English. Andorra's working environment is multilingual — Catalan officially, with Spanish, French and Portuguese widely used — and many employers and insurers read English documentation without difficulty. Some administrative recipients will want Catalan, Spanish or French. Ask what the recipient requires before you pay; we do not provide translations.
Yes. Andorra uses the euro, and the price is €34.99 for any of the six certificate types — Sick Leave, Sports Fitness, General Fitness, Fit to Fly, Return to Work and General Medical. There is no consultation fee on top, no delivery charge and no subscription.
That depends on where you are employed and insured rather than where you live, and Andorra has bilateral social-security arrangements with Spain, France and Portugal that shape the answer case by case. Many cross-border workers employed by Andorran companies contribute to the CASS, but you should not assume that describes you. Ask your employer and the relevant fund directly, and get it confirmed in writing.
Cases submitted during business hours are usually reviewed and decided the same day, with the certificate emailed as a PDF. It is a genuine review by a named doctor rather than an automated issue, so a case that needs follow-up questions takes longer. Submit early in the day if you are working to a deadline.
Occasionally a General Medical certificate is asked for in support of an application, and it can serve as a dated record of an assessment. But lenders, insurers underwriting a policy and landlords frequently require their own forms or their own examinations, and in the case of insurance underwriting, a full medical history. Check what the specific institution wants before you buy anything.
The information you submit forms the clinical record of the assessment, which is a necessary part of a doctor making and standing behind a decision. It is not shared with your employer, the CASS, an insurer or any authority — we send nothing to third parties. The certificate goes to you, and whether you pass it on is entirely your decision.
