Medical Certificates in Munich: Who Needs Them?
Munich is home to Germany's automotive and engineering giants — BMW alone employs over 41,000 people at its Milbertshofen plant and headquarters, while Siemens (22,000+) and MAN Truck & Bus round out the industrial base. Add Allianz and Munich Re's combined 23,000 finance and insurance staff, and German labor law's requirement for a sick certificate (Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung) after 3 consecutive sick days affects a huge share of the city's workforce, especially shift workers at BMW's production lines who need documentation before their next rostered shift.
Getting a same-day GP appointment in Munich is genuinely difficult. The Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Bayern reports 7-14 day waits for routine Hausarzt appointments in Maxvorstadt and Schwabing, the two districts with the highest concentration of students and young professionals. Suburban areas like Pasing and Trudering fare somewhat better, but most residents don't live near their registered GP. Our online service lets you submit your case to a registered doctor within minutes, with most assessments completed inside 24 hours.
Common situations we see from Munich: LMU and TUM students (97,000 combined) racing a 3-day exam deferral deadline when the Studentenwerk health service is fully booked, international tech workers at Google Munich or Microsoft navigating German sick leave rules in English, and Oktoberfest's 12,000 seasonal staff who can't afford to miss a shift during the September peak. Munich's large international community — 28% of residents are foreign nationals — means many people are dealing with an unfamiliar healthcare bureaucracy at the exact moment they feel worst.

Who Accepts These Certificates in Germany
Depending on the certificate type, our documents are designed to be accepted by the following institutions in Germany. Each institution has a slightly different reason for requesting a certificate, from continued-pay obligations to club membership rules, but all rely on the same underlying standard: a real assessment by a licensed doctor.
Employers
A validly issued AU, obtained after a genuine video consultation, satisfies the proof-of-incapacity requirement employers can request under §5 of the Entgeltfortzahlungsgesetz (EntgFG), whether the absence starts from day 1 or day 4 under your specific contract.
Schools & universities
Accepted for absence documentation and general medical evidence requirements in German schools and universities, including exam or coursework extension requests where a medical reason applies.
Sports clubs (Sportverein)
Commonly requested for youth football and handball clearance, and other club or league medical fitness requirements, before a season starts or a competitive licence is issued.
Airlines
Fit-to-fly certificates accepted by airlines departing German airports that require medical clearance for travel after recent surgery, illness, or later-stage pregnancy.
Health insurers (Krankenkassen)
Statutory health insurers receive the AU directly via the eAU system and use it as part of processing sick-pay claims and continued-coverage records.
Germany Pricing: All Certificate Types
| Certificate Type | Our Price | Typical Private Visit |
|---|---|---|
| Sick Leave Certificate (AU) | €34.99 | €50-€120 |
| Sports Fitness Certificate | €34.99 | €50-€120 |
| General Fitness Certificate | €34.99 | €50-€120 |
| Fit to Fly Certificate | €34.99 | €50-€120 |
| Return to Work Certificate | €34.99 | €50-€120 |
| General Medical Certificate | €34.99 | €50-€120 |
Typical private in-person doctor visit costs are general ranges reported for German private consultations and vary by clinic, specialty (a sports medicine or travel-clinic assessment can cost more than a routine GP visit), and location within Germany.
The price difference mainly reflects convenience rather than a lower quality of assessment: a genuine video consultation with a licensed doctor still takes place for AU certificates, and you avoid travel time, waiting-room time, and the need to take unplanned time off to visit a practice in person. For non-AU certificate types, such as a fitness or fit-to-fly certificate, our fixed price also removes the uncertainty of a private clinic's individual consultation fee, which can vary considerably between providers and cities.
Germany Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Munich
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Munich exactly as it does anywhere else in Germany.
In Germany, the standard sick-leave document is the Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung (AU): literally the "certificate of incapacity to work." The statutory minimum is that employers can require an AU from day 4 of illness, though many employers use their contractual right to request one from day 1. Since 2023, the AU has been transmitted electronically as the eAU, sent directly between your doctor, your statutory health insurer (Krankenkasse), and your employer. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes, a separate certificate type applies. See the full list below. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Germany, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung (AU): German for "certificate of incapacity to work." Often just called a Krankschreibung in everyday speech. |
|---|---|
| Statutory minimum | An AU can be required by your employer from day 4 of illness |
| Employer-specific rule | Many employers use their contractual right under German law to require an AU from day 1 of absence instead. Check your contract or ask HR which rule applies to you |
| Who can legally issue it | A licensed physician (Arzt), after a genuine clinical assessment carried out in person or by video consultation |
| Electronic transmission (eAU) | In place since 2023: the AU is sent directly between your doctor, your Krankenkasse, and, where applicable, your employer |
| Submission deadline | Inform your employer without delay, and submit the AU per your employer's required timeline (day 1 or day 4, depending on company policy) |
| Governing framework | §5 of the Entgeltfortzahlungsgesetz (EntgFG, the Continued Remuneration Act) |
| Data protection law | DSGVO, the German name for the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies directly, together with the BDSG (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz), Germany's national law supplementing it |
Note on day-1 vs day-4 rules: German law sets day 4 of illness as the statutory minimum point at which an employer can require an AU. In practice, many employment contracts and company sickness policies validly require an AU from day 1 of absence instead. Confirm which rule applies to you with your employer or HR department before you rely on either timeline.
Our Germany Medical Team
Every Germany certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Germany. Physicians practising in Germany are subject to oversight by the Bundesärztekammer (German Medical Association) together with the relevant state medical chamber (Landesärztekammer), and registration details can be independently checked through those bodies. A clinician will only issue a certificate, including an Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung (AU), after a genuine video consultation, and only if it is clinically appropriate to do so; if it is not, you receive a full refund.
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 Munich.
