Getting a Medical Certificate in Esch-sur-Alzette
Esch-sur-Alzette is the country's second-largest town, in the south, close to the French border. A meaningful share of the working population here either lives across the border in France and commutes in, or lives locally and commutes out — either way, employment documentation generally follows where you are employed rather than where you sleep, so a Luxembourg certificate is the right one for a Luxembourg employer regardless of which side of the border you live on.
The town has its own university presence and a mixed employer base, and demand for both sick-leave and return-to-work certificates here is steady, in line with its size as the second town in the country. As with the capital, French and German are both in ordinary use locally.
This isn't a clinic you visit in Esch-sur-Alzette — it's an online review, carried out by a doctor registered to assess cases in Luxembourg, wherever you happen to be in the country when you request it. There's no address to travel to and no appointment slot to find.
A cross-border town
Close to the French border, with plenty of people commuting in either direction. What matters for a certificate is where you are employed, not where you live.
The country's second town
A mixed local employer base and a steady, proportionate share of requests for sick-leave and return-to-work certificates.
A university presence
Students and staff connected to the University of Luxembourg's Esch-Belval campus are among those who ask for certificates here, alongside the wider working population.
French and German in daily use
As across most of the south, both languages are common. Tell us who the certificate is for and the wording can be matched to what they expect.
All Certificate Types Available in Luxembourg

Luxembourg Pricing: All Certificate Types
| Certificate Type | Our Price | Typical Private Consultation |
|---|---|---|
| Sick Leave Certificate | €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 consultation costs are a general range reported for Luxembourg and vary by practice and location.
The gap between our pricing and a typical private consultation mostly reflects the difference between booking an in-person appointment slot and completing an online assessment: you're paying for the doctor's review and the certificate itself, not a waiting room or receptionist time.
Luxembourg residents covered by CNS may have some or all of a routine in-person consultation reimbursed through the standard health insurance system; our online assessment is a private, self-pay service and is a different route to obtaining a certificate quickly, rather than a substitute for CNS-linked primary care. If your situation involves an ongoing condition better suited to in-person follow-up, a doctor may advise that route instead.
Prices for every certificate type are shown upfront before you start the assessment, and you are only charged once a doctor has actually reviewed and approved your case, not at the point of submitting your answers. This matters in a market like Luxembourg's, where the cost of an equivalent in-person visit can vary noticeably between a general practice, a specialist, or an occupational health provider, depending on which one you'd otherwise have approached.
Luxembourg Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Esch-sur-Alzette
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Esch-sur-Alzette exactly as it does anywhere else in Luxembourg.
For most sickness absence in Luxembourg, you generally need a certificat médical (or ärztliches Attest in German), typically issued by a doctor and used to support your employer notification and, where relevant, a CNS sick-pay matter. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes such as insurance or visa applications, a separate certificate type generally applies: see the types below. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Luxembourg, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Certificat médical (French) or ärztliches Attest (German): Luxembourg is trilingual (French, German, Luxembourgish), so both terms are commonly used depending on the employer, region, and which language you deal with day to day |
|---|---|
| General timing / requirement | Generally expected to document a sickness absence from work, though exact notification windows and internal policies can vary by employer and sector |
| Who can generally issue it | Typically a doctor practising in Luxembourg |
| Submission timing | Generally expected to be communicated to your employer as soon as reasonably practicable, per your employer's own sickness policy; exact windows and required forms can vary by employer and by the collective agreement (convention collective) that applies to your role |
| Processed through | Generally routed through CNS (Caisse Nationale de Santé), Luxembourg's National Health Fund, to support absence and sick-pay documentation |
| Governing framework | General Luxembourg social security and sickness absence framework, administered in practice via CNS; specific entitlements and required steps depend on your employment situation and any applicable collective agreement |
| Data protection law | EU GDPR as implemented in Luxembourg, with oversight from the CNPD (Commission nationale pour la protection des données) |
Note on employer-specific rules: Notification windows, required internal forms, and whether a copy needs to reach the CNS directly can vary by employer, sector, and the collective agreement that applies to your role. Confirm your own employer's sickness absence policy alongside this general overview, and check current CNS guidance directly if your situation involves a sick-pay matter, as procedures are reviewed periodically.

That depends on where you are employed, not where you live.

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