Medical Certificate in Czechia: Online, Same-Day from €34.99

Czechia Legal Snapshot: Statutory Sick Leave (Neschopenka)

Important distinction: Our online general medical certificate does not replace the formal neschopenka / eNeschopenka process. That process is generally tied to statutory sick pay and is typically issued directly by your own treating doctor into the electronic system used by ČSSZ and reported to your employer. If you need to claim Czechia's statutory sick pay, you would generally need to contact your registered GP (praktický lékař) rather than an online certificate service. Our certificate is intended for other, complementary purposes, such as insurance, visa, legal, education, sport, and travel documentation.

In general, if you need to formally register sickness absence that qualifies for statutory sick pay in Czechia, the typical route is to contact your own registered GP (praktický lékař), who will generally be the one to initiate the neschopenka through the eNeschopenka system on your behalf. Employers are generally notified electronically once ČSSZ has the record, though exact notification timing and internal HR processes can vary by employer. Our online service is built around a different, complementary use case: situations where you need a doctor-reviewed medical certificate for something other than the statutory sick-pay process itself, such as an insurer, a visa application, a legal matter, a school or university, a sports club, or an airline.

The length of a neschopenka period, the level of ongoing follow-up your treating doctor requires, and exactly how ČSSZ and your employer coordinate on payment are all generally case-specific and depend on your diagnosis and circumstances. We do not attempt to give a precise timeline here, since it is not something a general country page can responsibly state without hedging. Your own treating doctor is generally best placed to explain what applies to your case.

Administrative practices around neschopenka, eNeschopenka, and ČSSZ procedures can vary by employer, region, and individual case, and are periodically updated. This page provides general information only, and we have intentionally hedged the language throughout this section, given how case-specific Czech sick-pay and social security rules can be. It is not a substitute for advice from a Czech-registered doctor, your employer's HR contact, or a legal/social security adviser for your specific situation. Last reviewed July 2026. Always confirm current rules before relying on them for a specific case.

1. 1

   Complete assessment

   3-5 minutes. Select your certificate type, confirm Czechia as your country, and answer relevant health questions. No payment yet, and nothing is submitted to any doctor until you confirm.

2. 2

   Doctor reviews your case

   Reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Czechia, generally during weekday business hours (CET/CEST). The doctor may request more information before deciding, and will only issue a certificate where it is clinically appropriate to do so.

3. 3

   Receive your PDF

   Emailed same day, usually within 30 minutes of approval, with doctor information and a verification reference that lets the recipient independently confirm your certificate is genuine.

Private in-person consultation costs are typical ranges reported for Czechia and vary by clinic, city, and doctor. This range reflects a private, out-of-pocket consultation and does not represent the cost of the publicly-funded neschopenka / eNeschopenka process, which is generally handled through your own treating doctor and the public health system.

Pricing generally reflects the depth of assessment each certificate type requires. A sports fitness certificate, for example, typically involves reviewing activity level and health history in more detail than a general medical certificate for straightforward documentation purposes. All prices shown include the doctor's review, your PDF certificate with certificate verification, and same-day delivery once approved.

A typical private in-person consultation with a doctor in Czechia generally costs somewhere in the range of 800-1800 Kč, and typically requires booking an appointment and travelling to a clinic during its opening hours. Our online general medical certificate and sick leave certificate both start at 999 Kč, sit within that typical range, and are reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Czechia after a genuine online assessment of your case, not an automated or instant approval. Certificates are typically delivered as a same-day PDF with a verification reference, usually within around 30 minutes of doctor approval, once your online assessment has been completed and reviewed.

This comparison covers cost and convenience for a private, out-of-pocket consultation only. It does not apply to Czechia's formal, publicly-funded neschopenka / eNeschopenka process for statutory sick pay, which is generally issued directly by your own treating doctor into the electronic system reported to ČSSZ and your employer, and which sits outside what our service is designed to replace.

The verification reference included on every certificate is intended to give the recipient (an employer, insurer, school, club, or airline) a way to independently check that a certificate is genuine, without needing to contact the doctor directly. This is generally not something a typical in-person paper certificate offers.

Every Czechia certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Czechia. A clinician will only issue a certificate after genuinely assessing your case, and only if it is clinically appropriate to do so. If a certificate cannot be issued after assessment, you receive a full refund. Our doctors review cases for the certificate types listed above; they do not issue Czechia's formal neschopenka, which generally needs to come from your own treating doctor as part of the eNeschopenka system.
