It serves as supporting documentation for employers who accept a doctor's note, and for travel, study, sport and insurance purposes. It is not an elektroninis nedarbingumo pažymėjimas: that statutory certificate is created in ESPBI IS by a doctor at a SODRA-contracted institution, and only it triggers employer-paid sick days and SODRA sickness benefit.

Medical Certificates in Šiauliai: Who Needs Them?
Šiauliai is northern Lithuania's manufacturing centre, with a spread of industry unusually wide for a city its size: international freight transport, electric and conventional bicycle production, HVAC equipment, metal components, electrical distribution gear, construction materials and a substantial furniture sector, plus Rūta, one of the oldest chocolate factories in Lithuania. Baltik vairas, the bicycle manufacturer, is among the district's largest employers with around 320 permanent staff, rising past 600 in peak season. That seasonal swing matters: peak-season hiring means more people on short contracts precisely when the production line can least afford an undocumented absence.
The city's newest industrial story is aviation maintenance. Construction of a large aircraft maintenance and repair centre began at Šiauliai International Airport in 2020, servicing Airbus A320-family and Boeing aircraft, with around 1,000 new jobs planned. Aircraft maintenance runs to aircraft availability rather than daylight, meaning night and weekend shifts as standard. It also brings a specific misconception worth heading off: maintenance engineers and aircrew are different populations with different medical requirements, and only one of them can be served by a general certificate.
On the statutory question, the position is straightforward and unhelpful to us commercially, so we will state it plainly. Lithuania's sick leave runs on the elektroninis nedarbingumo pažymėjimas, created by the treating doctor in ESPBI IS, managed in EPTS, signed with the doctor's electronic signature and transmitted automatically to your employer and SODRA. Only doctors at institutions contracted with a SODRA regional office can issue it. Your employer pays the first two days; SODRA pays 62.06% of insured income from day three. We cannot create, file or transmit it, and nothing we issue starts those payments.
For healthcare, Šiauliai is served by Respublikinė Šiaulių ligoninė on V. Kudirkos g., which describes itself as the largest personal healthcare institution in northern Lithuania, with over 2,000 staff including some 449 physicians and 779 nurses, running diagnostic, therapeutic and emergency services around the clock. That is the destination for examination and treatment. It is not a practical source of routine documentation for someone whose shift finished at midnight, and the 2025 EU country health profile records substantial variation between Lithuanian municipalities, with some routinely exceeding the recommended seven-day primary care wait.
Higher education in the city changed shape in 2021, when Šiauliai University became part of Vilnius University and was renamed Vilnius University Šiauliai Academy, now organised around institutes of education and regional development plus a lifelong learning centre. Students there need dated medical evidence for deferrals in the usual way. And the city's combination of manufacturing, freight haulage and aviation work produces a steady flow of the less obvious requests: fitness statements for gym and club registration, documentation for insurance claims, and fit-to-fly letters for people who fly frequently for work.

Who Accepts a Medical Certificate in Šiauliai
Acceptance is the recipient's decision, so check first when something rests on it. Two fixed limits: statutory sick pay needs the electronic certificate from a SODRA-contracted institution, and aircrew medicals need an authorised aeromedical examiner.

Faculties generally require a dated written statement from a registered doctor to support a deferral or a missed assessment.
Airlines & Travel Insurers
A fitness-to-fly statement after illness or injury is a private document that carriers and insurers commonly request before travel.
Sports Clubs & Gyms
Amateur clubs, gyms and local events around Šiauliai routinely ask for a doctor's fitness assessment before registration.
Municipal Employers
City services document absences formally, while statutory sick pay continues to run entirely through the electronic certificate.

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 Šiauliai
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Šiauliai 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 Šiauliai.

Yes — it is a single flat fee covering the registered doctor's review and the issued PDF, identical across all six certificate types, with no separate consultation charge, no delivery fee and no premium for speed. If the doctor concludes they cannot issue a certificate for your case, you are not charged anything at all.
Whenever you submit. The assessment form is open around the clock, so a night-shift engineer can submit at 03:00 and a registered doctor will normally have reviewed it by the morning. Cases submitted during Lithuanian working hours are often decided within a couple of hours. There is no appointment to align with your roster, which is the whole practical advantage.
For many presentations, yes — the doctor works from a structured history and may ask follow-up questions before deciding. For anything needing physical examination, measurement or testing, no, and the doctor will say so rather than issue something unsupported. That refusal is the system working correctly, it costs you nothing, and it is the honest limit on what any remote service can do.
Not from us. That automatic flow exists because the elektroninis nedarbingumo pažymėjimas is created inside ESPBI IS by a doctor at a healthcare institution contracted with a SODRA regional office, then managed in EPTS and transmitted to your employer and SODRA from within the Lithuanian system. We have no access to any of it. Your two employer-paid days and SODRA's 62.06% from day three run on that certificate alone.
That is their prerogative for short absences, so establish their policy before you order. Some employers here accept a dated doctor's statement; others require the electronic certificate, which is the correct requirement where statutory sick pay is at stake. If the answer is no, this is not the right product for that purpose — but it remains the right one for travel, club registration, study and insurance claims.
Yes. A Fit to Fly certificate documents a registered doctor's assessment that you are fit to travel by air, which is what carriers and travel insurers ask for after a recent illness, injury or procedure, at €34.99. Check your airline's rule on how recently the assessment must have been made, as carriers set their own windows.
No. If you hold or are applying for a pilot or cabin crew licence, you need an aviation medical certificate issued by an authorised aeromedical examiner following a prescribed examination — nothing we issue substitutes for it, and we will not pretend to be an alternative. Maintenance engineers, by contrast, generally need whatever their employer's own occupational policy specifies, which may or may not be satisfied by a general certificate. Ask your employer which of the two applies to you.
Not to the certificate, but to the process around it. Short-contract and agency workers frequently face less formal internal procedures and less clarity about what evidence is required, so it is worth asking at the point of hire rather than during an illness. Statutory sick pay entitlement also depends on your contract and Lithuanian contribution record, which no document from us affects.
English, as a signed PDF with a verification reference code so the recipient can confirm it is genuine. International manufacturers, haulage firms with foreign clients and insurers abroad generally accept English without comment. A Lithuanian public body or a small local employer may want a Lithuanian translation — worth establishing before submitting rather than after.
Requests for regulated examinations outside our scope — aviation medicals and statutory occupational health checks are the two that come up most in this city — plus cases where symptoms need hands-on assessment, and requests to certify a past absence with no clinical basis. The doctor explains the position, no charge applies, and the next step is normally an in-person clinician or an authorised examiner.
