Getting a Medical Certificate in Bergen
Bergen is Norway's second city, built around a working harbour rather than a symbolic one: shipping, fisheries, subsea and offshore energy services are all a real part of the local economy, alongside a large public sector and healthcare workforce. Larger maritime and energy-services employers here often run a more formal HR process around sick leave, including any extended egenmelding agreement, than a smaller local business would.
The University of Bergen and the wider higher-education sector make up a substantial student population too. As elsewhere, illness during exams or coursework is generally handled through each institution's own process rather than a national one.
Nothing about this happens in a waiting room in Bergen — the whole assessment runs online, reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Norway, wherever in the country you happen to be when you send it in.
Maritime, fisheries and energy services
Shipping, subsea and offshore-services employers around the harbour often run a formal absence process, sometimes including an extended egenmelding agreement on top of the statutory minimum.
University of Bergen
Illness affecting exams or coursework is handled through the university's own process. Check its specific evidence requirements before you request a certificate.
Travel across Vestland
Bergen's setting means a fair few people commute in from further along the coast or the fjords. Being too unwell to make that journey is a reasonable reason to use an online assessment.
Club sport on the west coast
Football and handball clubs across Bergen commonly ask for medical clearance for underage or contact-sport participation. The club sets the requirement, not the state.
All Certificate Types Available in Norway
Every certificate type is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Norway, against the requirements relevant to that certificate, and delivered as a PDF with a reference number. Choose the one that matches your situation.
Sick Leave Certificate (Sykmelding)
For work absence once your egenmelding (self-certification) allowance is used up. Meets sykmelding documentation requirements under Norway's National Insurance Act (folketrygdloven), whether your absence started with egenmelding or needed a sykmelding from day one.
From €34.99Sports Fitness Certificate

From €34.99General Fitness Certificate

From €34.99General Medical Certificate

From €34.99How It Works in Bergen
Complete assessment
3-5 minutes. Select your certificate type, confirm Norway as your country, and answer relevant health questions honestly and in full; the doctor's assessment depends on the information you provide. No payment is taken at this stage, so there's no cost to you if the doctor later can't issue your certificate.
Doctor registered to assess Norway cases reviews
Your case is reviewed against Norwegian requirements, generally during business hours (9am-6pm CET/CEST, Monday-Friday). If something is unclear, the doctor may contact you for more information before deciding, which keeps the review genuine rather than a formality.
Receive your PDF
Once approved, your certificate is emailed the same day, usually within 30 minutes, with the reviewing doctor's credentials and a verification reference that employers, schools, clubs, or NAV can check independently, without needing to contact us directly.
Who Asks for a Medical Certificate in Bergen
Bergen employers
Once your egenmelding days for this absence are used up — up to 3 consecutive days, up to 4 times in a 12-month period under folketrygdloven, or more where an extended egenmelding period has been agreed with your employer — a sykmelding from a doctor registered to assess cases in Norway is generally what's needed to continue documenting the absence.
University of Bergen
Commonly requested as supporting documentation for illness affecting exams or coursework. The university sets its own evidence requirements, so check what your department asks for.
Clubs and gyms
Football and handball clubs, and gyms across the city, may ask for a medical clearance or health declaration before participation, particularly for younger or contact-sport participants.
NAV and insurers
A sykmelding is the document NAV and most insurers recognise for documenting sickness once egenmelding is exhausted. What matters to them is that a genuine medical assessment took place.

Norway Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Bergen
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Bergen exactly as it does anywhere else in Norway.
In Norway, employees generally have a legal right to egenmelding (self-certification) for sickness absence of up to 3 consecutive days, up to 4 times within a 12-month period, once they have been employed for at least 2 months. Many employers can also agree an extended self-certification period with staff, sometimes up to 8 consecutive days and up to 24 days within a 12-month period; this is often discussed under Norway's IA (Inkluderende Arbeidsliv, "inclusive working life") framework, which since 2019 applies nationwide rather than requiring an employer to sign an individual agreement with NAV. Once your egenmelding allowance for an absence is used up, a sykmelding (doctor's certificate) is generally required to continue documenting your sick leave. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes (education, insurance claims, NAV documentation), a separate certificate type applies. See the full list below. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Norway, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | sykmelding (doctor's certificate), the term used once your egenmelding (self-certification) allowance for an absence has been used up. |
|---|---|
| Self-certification period (egenmelding) | Generally up to 3 consecutive days per absence, up to 4 times within a 12-month period, once you have been employed for at least 2 months |
| Extended self-certification | Many employers can agree a longer self-certification period with staff, sometimes up to 8 consecutive days and up to 24 days within a 12-month period, often discussed under Norway's nationwide IA framework; exact terms vary by employer and agreement |
| When a sykmelding is required | Once your egenmelding allowance for that absence is used up, a doctor's sykmelding is generally required to continue documented sick leave |
| Who can legally issue it | A doctor (lege): a sykmelding is, by definition, a doctor's certificate |
| Governing framework | Norway's National Insurance Act (folketrygdloven) provisions on sick pay (sykepenger), together with NAV (the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) |
| Data protection law | GDPR, as applicable in Norway via the EEA agreement (Norway is a member of the European Economic Area, not the European Union) |
Note on egenmelding and extended self-certification: Exact self-certification allowances can depend on your employer's own policy and your collective agreement. The 3-day, 4-times, 12-month egenmelding framework is the general legal baseline. Since 2019, any employer, not only those historically registered as an individual "IA-virksomhet," can agree an extended self-certification allowance with employee representatives; this is not automatic and is set at the workplace level. Confirm your own entitlement with your employer or NAV before relying on it for a specific case.
Our Norway Medical Team
Every Norway certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Norway. Each certificate shows the reviewing doctor's credentials and includes a verification reference that can be checked independently. A clinician will only issue a certificate after genuinely assessing your case, and only if it is clinically appropriate to do so; if a doctor cannot issue your certificate, you receive a full refund automatically. This applies across every certificate type on this page, from sick leave and sykmelding documentation to sports fitness and fit-to-fly certificates: the same standard of genuine clinical review applies regardless of which certificate you need.
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 Bergen.

No. The assessment is completed online and reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Norway, so where you are in the country makes no difference to the process or the price. This page exists because people search for their own city, not because the service works differently in Bergen.
Our certificate is €34.99 flat, including the doctor's review, the PDF and its verification reference. A private doctor visit in Norway commonly falls in the €50-€120 range depending on the clinic and how quickly you need to be seen. A certificate isn't a substitute for care, though — if you need to be examined or treated, see a doctor in person.
Egenmelding is your own right to self-certify sickness absence, generally up to 3 consecutive days and up to 4 times in a 12-month period once you've been employed for 2 months — some employers extend that further by agreement, up to 8 consecutive days and 24 days a year under the IA framework. We don't replace that stage. Once whichever egenmelding allowance applies to you is used up for this absence, a sykmelding from a doctor is generally what's needed to continue documenting it, and that's what we issue.
Generally, yes — a sykmelding issued by a doctor registered to assess cases in Norway following a genuine assessment is the document form both your employer and NAV recognise once egenmelding is exhausted. If your case involves an ongoing NAV claim, it's worth checking the specific evidence NAV has asked you for as well.
Same day, usually within 30 minutes of the doctor approving your case during business hours. Some cases take longer where the doctor needs more information from you before deciding.
