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

Hungary Legal Snapshot: Statutory Sick-Pay Support vs General Medical Certificate

Note on táppénz: Eligibility, waiting periods, and reimbursement rates for táppénz are set out in Hungarian social security legislation and can change, and requirements may vary depending on your employment status and employer. This page describes the general pattern only. Confirm current requirements with NEAK, your háziorvos, or your employer before relying on them for a specific táppénz claim.

Why does this distinction matter? Because a certificate issued for the wrong purpose can slow down whichever process you actually need. If your goal is to claim táppénz (for example because an illness or injury has kept you off work for a stretch and you want statutory sick pay), the path generally runs through your own treating doctor and NEAK, not through an independent online review. If your goal sits outside that system (proving to an insurer, embassy, school, employer, or sports club that you were seen by a doctor and assessed as fit or unfit for a specific purpose), an online general medical certificate reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Hungary is generally a reasonable and genuine option. When in doubt, it is worth asking the institution requesting the certificate which document they actually need before you apply.

An online general medical certificate reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Hungary is a genuine, doctor-reviewed document for the purposes it is intended for. It is not marketed as, and should not be relied on as, a substitute for the formal orvosi igazolás that supports a táppénz claim, which is generally tied to your own treating doctor and processed through NEAK. Rules, forms, and administrative practice around táppénz and NEAK can be updated by the Hungarian authorities, and individual employers may layer their own sick-leave policies on top of the statutory minimum, so treat the summary above as a general orientation rather than a complete legal reference.

1. 1

   Complete assessment

   3-5 minutes. Select your certificate type, confirm Hungary as your country, and answer relevant health questions honestly and in detail. The more context you give, the easier it is for the reviewing doctor to reach a decision. No payment yet.

2. 2

   Doctor reviews your case

   Reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Hungary, generally during business hours (9am-6pm CET/CEST, Monday-Friday). The doctor may request more information before deciding, and will only issue a certificate if it is clinically appropriate to do so.

3. 3

   Receive your PDF

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

Typical private consultation costs are a general range reported for a private doctor visit in Hungary and vary by clinic, city, and specialty. They are shown for orientation only and are not a quote from any specific provider.

There is no single national online alternative we are comparing ourselves against in Hungary, so here is how our service stacks up against the most common alternative: a typical private, in-person doctor consultation. A private consultation in Hungary typically costs around €50-60, generally requires booking an appointment and travelling to a clinic, and can mean taking time off during working hours to attend, sometimes with a waiting-room delay on top of the appointment itself. Our online general medical certificate starts at €34.99, is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Hungary from wherever you are, and is normally delivered as a same-day PDF, usually within 30 minutes of the doctor's approval. Every certificate includes a verification reference so the person relying on it (an employer, school, sports club, or insurer) can check that it is genuine, which is not something a typical paper note from an in-person visit offers.

The trade-off runs both ways, though, and it is worth being upfront about it. As with any doctor's review, ours is a genuine clinical assessment, not an automatic approval: a certificate is only issued if it is clinically appropriate to do so, and you receive a full refund if it is not. An in-person visit lets a doctor examine you physically, which is sometimes necessary and which an online review cannot replace. If your situation clearly needs a hands-on examination, or if you are pursuing a táppénz claim through NEAK, an in-person visit to your own treating doctor remains the right route.

Every Hungary certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Hungary. A clinician will only issue a certificate after genuinely assessing your case and if it is clinically appropriate to do so. If not, you receive a full refund. Doctor credentials are shown on your certificate.
