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

No. The assessment is completed online and reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Italy, 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 Turin.

No. The INPS-linked electronic sickness certificate that Italian employers rely on for statutory sick pay is generally issued by your own medico di base, or out of hours by the guardia medica (continuità assistenziale), and transmitted directly to INPS. Our certificate is a separate, complementary general medical document — for insurance, visa, education, sport or travel purposes. If you need paid sick leave through INPS, contact your medico di base or the guardia medica.

Our certificate is €34.99 flat, including the doctor's review, the PDF and its verification reference. A private doctor visit in Italy commonly falls in the €50-€120 range depending on the type of consultation. A certificate is not a substitute for care — if you need to be examined or treated, see a doctor.

Not the general position. Shift-based workplaces often have their own written notification procedures on top of whatever national rules apply, and those are worth checking in your contract or handbook. For anything tied to statutory sick pay through INPS specifically, see the national rules above.

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 making a decision.

It is €34.99 per certificate, with no family or multi-case discount, because each case is a separate clinical review rather than a shared form. The same figure applies to all six types, so cost never pushes you towards the wrong document. If you are looking at several certificates for a household — children joining a club, say — check what each one actually requires first, since the Italian sporting idoneità certificates cannot be issued remotely at any price. And for statutory sick leave, the INPS certificate from your medico di base remains free.

For federated youth sport, no, and it is worth being blunt about it. A club registering a child with a CONI-recognised federation needs the Italian certificato di idoneità sportiva, and the route for children runs through the pediatra di libera scelta, the family doctor or a sports-medicine service, with an in-person visit and a properly reported resting ECG. Requirements for the youngest age groups have changed more than once, so ask the club exactly which certificate and which age band applies and take that to a paediatrician. Where a purely recreational activity or a private class wants a general fitness statement, that is a different request and one a general fitness certificate can address.

For statutory sick leave, yes, and the mechanism is built into the Italian system rather than being an accusation: an employer can ask INPS for a visita fiscale, a home check by an INPS-appointed doctor during the stated hours. That applies to the INPS certificato di malattia from your medico di base, which is the reason anyone on paid sick leave should be going through that route rather than any other. For the other certificate types there is no equivalent inspection — a return-to-work or general fitness statement is a doctor's assessment that the recipient can verify through the reference on the document. What an employer cannot do is demand a diagnosis they are not entitled to.

It depends which certificate, and the answer is often not Turin. Your medico di base is registered where you live, which for much of the metropolitan workforce means Moncalieri, Chieri, Rivoli, Settimo or further out into the province — and that surgery is where the free INPS route runs, not anywhere in the city. For a remote assessment the geography is irrelevant: the review is against Italian requirements, not a comune. What is not irrelevant is your employer's notification procedure, which usually specifies who to tell and by when, and which starts running the moment you are absent regardless of what document you are waiting on.

For fitness-to-work decisions on roles under health surveillance, that is not merely allowed but correct. Italian workplace health rules give the judgement about whether you are fit for specific tasks and exposures to the employer's appointed medico competente, and on industrial and shift-based sites around Turin that is a real, formal step no external certificate replaces, online or otherwise. Where a workplace applies the same rule to everything else, it is going further than the law requires: absence documentation runs through INPS and your medico di base, and general medical or return-to-work evidence from a registered doctor stands on its own. Ask which of the three they mean, in writing, and the answer usually becomes obvious.
