Yes — you can get a doctor-reviewed medical certificate for Klaipėda online today, issued as a same-day PDF for €34.99 by a registered doctor. It works as supporting documentation for employers who accept a doctor's note, and for sport, travel, study and insurance purposes. It is not an elektroninis nedarbingumo pažymėjimas, and it is not a seafarer medical: the first can only be created in ESPBI IS by a doctor at a SODRA-contracted institution, and the second requires an approved maritime examiner in person.

Medical Certificates in Klaipėda: Who Needs Them?
Klaipėda is Lithuania's only seaport and the economic weight of that is hard to overstate: more than 800 companies are directly involved in the port's activities, generating over 6% of national GDP and supporting more than 58,000 jobs. The wider region has around 1,500 logistics and transport companies employing close to 20,000 people, and the Klaipėda Free Economic Zone accounts for over 4,500 employees on its own. DFDS runs ro-ro and ro-pax services from the port, and BLRT Western Shipyard handles ship repair and construction. Terminal work, ferry turnarounds and shipyard shifts all run to schedules that ignore surgery opening times.
On paperwork, two things need saying clearly and one of them is a flat no. Lithuania's statutory sick leave runs on the elektroninis nedarbingumo pažymėjimas, created by the treating doctor in ESPBI IS, managed in EPTS and transmitted automatically to your employer and SODRA; only doctors at SODRA-contracted institutions can issue it, with the employer paying the first two days and SODRA 62.06% of insured income from day three. We cannot create or file it. And a seafarer medical fitness certificate is a regulated examination under international maritime rules, requiring an in-person examination by a doctor approved by the relevant flag state — nothing we issue substitutes for it.
What an online assessment does deliver is a registered doctor's documented judgement, which covers a lot of real Klaipėda situations. Employers who accept a doctor's note under internal policy will often take it for a short absence. A fitness-to-fly statement after illness is what an airline or a travel insurer asks for. Sports clubs and gyms want a fitness assessment before registration; Klaipėda University faculties want dated evidence for deferrals; insurers want a written clinical statement in a claim file. None of these touch SODRA or the maritime regulator.
Local hospital provision was reorganised recently, which is worth knowing when deciding where to go. On 2 January 2023 three institutions — Klaipėda Seamen's Hospital, the former Klaipėda University Hospital and Palanga Rehabilitation Hospital — merged into Klaipėdos universiteto ligoninė, now on Liepojos g. 41, while Republican Klaipėda Hospital continues on S. Nėries g. These are the places for examination, treatment and the statutory certificate. They are not designed around producing routine documentation for someone who is between shifts.
Seasonality shapes demand here in two directions. Summer brings cruise calls, ferry traffic and the Curonian Spit tourist season, filling hospitality and passenger-handling roles with short contracts and long evening shifts. Winter brings the cargo and shipyard work that never stops, plus the respiratory season that puts every family doctor list in the county under pressure at once. Around both sits a workforce that spends significant time away from home — the group for whom an online assessment is not a convenience but the only realistic route to a dated document.

Lithuania Pricing: All Certificate Types

Typical in-person visit costs are a general range and vary by clinic, city, and consultation type.
The gap between our pricing and a typical in-person visit generally reflects the difference between a walk-in appointment and an online assessment: you are paying for the doctor's review and the certificate itself, not a consultation room or receptionist time. For same-day documentation needed for travel, sport, or an employer, most people in this position choose a private route regardless of price, since the process does not depend on the next available appointment. This is not a claim that in-person care is unnecessary: for conditions that need a physical examination, a doctor may still advise seeing someone in person, and our assessment is designed to identify when that is the better route rather than issuing a certificate regardless.
Lithuania Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Klaipėda
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Klaipėda exactly as it does anywhere else in Lithuania.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Lithuania online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. In Lithuania, work absence due to illness is generally documented with a nedarbingumo pažymėjimas, a certificate of incapacity for work issued by a doctor and processed through SODRA, Lithuania's State Social Insurance Fund Board. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes such as insurance or study, a separate certificate type applies: see the types below. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Lithuania, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Nedarbingumo pažymėjimas: a certificate of incapacity for work. |
|---|---|
| What it generally confirms | A period of incapacity for work due to illness or injury, assessed and recorded by a doctor rather than self-declared by the employee. |
| Who can generally issue it | A doctor, with the certificate typically issued and tracked through Lithuania's e-health and social insurance systems rather than on paper. |
| Format | Electronic by default: most nedarbingumo pažymėjimas records exist digitally rather than as a printed paper form. |
| Processed through | SODRA, Lithuania's State Social Insurance Fund Board, which generally administers work-incapacity records nationally. |
| Related benefit | Ligos pašalpa, Lithuania's sickness benefit, may apply where an employee qualifies; specific eligibility, waiting periods, and payment amounts vary by situation and should be confirmed directly with SODRA or an employer. |
| Data protection law | The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), applied directly as EU law, together with Lithuania's national data protection legislation implementing it. |
Note on local procedure: Sick-leave documentation, benefit thresholds, and processing steps in Lithuania are set and periodically updated by SODRA and Lithuanian employment law, and employer-specific notification practices also vary. Always confirm current requirements directly with SODRA, your employer, or a qualified local adviser before relying on this page for a specific case.
Our Lithuania Medical Team
Every Lithuania certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Lithuania. A certificate is only issued after a genuine assessment of your case, based on the health information you provide and, where needed, follow-up questions asked through the same portal.
If a certificate is not clinically appropriate, for example, if your case needs an in-person examination or further investigation, the doctor will decline to issue one and you receive a full, automatic refund. We do not operate on a pay-first, questions-later basis: no certificate is guaranteed simply because a request was submitted. As with any doctor-issued document, a doctor's registration can generally be verified through the relevant national channels, and every certificate we issue carries a reference number that resolves on an independent verification page, rather than asking anyone to take our word for it.
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 Klaipėda.

Because the underlying work is identical: a registered doctor reviews the case you submit and decides what they can document. Whether the result is a Sick Leave, Sports Fitness, General Fitness, Fit to Fly, Return to Work or General Medical certificate, the fee is €34.99, with nothing added for delivery or speed — and nothing charged if the doctor declines to issue.
Yes, and that is largely the point. The assessment form is available around the clock, so it can be completed in a break or at the end of a night shift, and a registered doctor reviews it without you needing to be present. Overnight submissions are typically decided the following morning; daytime ones often within a couple of hours.
For some presentations, yes; for others, no — and the doctor is the one who decides which. A clear history of an illness can support a documented assessment. A musculoskeletal injury that needs to be examined, moved or imaged cannot be assessed through a form, and in those cases the doctor will decline and tell you to be seen in person. A refusal costs you nothing.
No. That notification is automatic precisely because the certificate is created inside ESPBI IS by a doctor at a healthcare institution contracted with a SODRA regional office — it flows to your employer and SODRA from within the Lithuanian system. We are not in that system and cannot put anything into it. Your two employer-paid days and SODRA's 62.06% from day three depend on that certificate, not on ours.
Some do and some do not, which is why asking HR before ordering is worth the two minutes. Employers set their own evidence rules for short absences; where statutory sick pay is involved they will require the electronic certificate and are correct to. If the answer is no, the honest conclusion is that this is the wrong product for that purpose — though it remains the right one for sport, travel, study and insurance.
For most amateur and youth clubs, gyms and local events, yes: it documents a registered doctor's assessment that you are fit for the activity you describe, at €34.99. The exception is competitive sport where a federation or senior club runs its own mandatory screening protocol, sometimes including specific cardiac testing — no general certificate substitutes for that. Check the club's written requirements before ordering.
No, and there is no version of this where we can. A seafarer medical fitness certificate is required under international maritime rules, must be carried out in person by a doctor approved by the relevant flag state, and involves physical testing that cannot be replicated remotely. It is also the document that historically drew seafarers to Klaipėda Seamen's Hospital, now part of Klaipėdos universiteto ligoninė. For that, book an approved maritime examiner.
The certificate is the same document, but two practical points apply. Seasonal employers often have lighter internal procedures, so establish what evidence they accept at the start of the season rather than mid-illness. And statutory sick pay depends on your contract and Lithuanian contribution record, not on any document we issue — that remains the territory of the electronic certificate.
It is an English-language PDF, emailed to you, signed by the reviewing doctor and carrying a verification reference code that lets any recipient confirm it is genuine rather than trusting a forwarded file. That is often more useful than a Lithuanian-language document for a foreign shipping company, a crewing agency or an insurer abroad. A Lithuanian state body may want a translation, so check first.
Requests for regulated examinations we are not able to perform — seafarer medicals above all, and occupational health checks for hazardous roles — along with injuries that clearly need hands-on assessment and requests to certify a past absence with no clinical basis. In each case the doctor explains the position, you are not charged, and the next step is an in-person clinician or an approved examiner.
