Getting a Medical Certificate in Roskilde
Roskilde sits at the edge of the Copenhagen metropolitan area on Zealand, with an economy that mixes its own local employer base — retail, education and healthcare — with a large share of residents who commute into Copenhagen itself for work. The city is also known internationally for the Roskilde Festival, one of Europe's largest music festivals, which brings a wave of short-term and event-based work each summer alongside the city's year-round economy.
Roskilde University and a range of further-education institutions bring a substantial student population to the city. Illness affecting exams or coursework is generally handled through the institution's own process, with its own evidence requirements.
There's no clinic to visit for this in Roskilde — the whole assessment happens online, reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Denmark, wherever you are in the country when you request it. That's true whether you're in the city centre or out in the suburbs.
Roskilde sits 30 km west of Copenhagen with about 40 minutes by train between them, and Roskilde Station — the oldest railway station in Denmark still in operation, with four platforms and seven tracks — is the junction linking western and southern Zealand, Lolland and Falster and Jutland into the capital. Traffic runs both ways: a large share of residents work in Copenhagen, while Roskilde University, founded in 1972, draws students who commute out from the capital to study. The Roskilde Festival, held south of the city and the largest music festival in the Nordic countries, has drawn 130,000-plus guests in each of its recent editions on a site with its own train station and a campsite of nearly 80 hectares, concentrating a large volume of short-term work into a few weeks of high summer. Sick Leave and Return to Work certificates track that seasonal shape closely. All six of our types are €34.99.
Administratively Roskilde is in Region Sjælland rather than the Capital Region, and that has practical consequences people tend to discover at the worst possible moment. Out-of-hours care here goes through Region Sjælland's lægevagt on 70 15 07 00 rather than Copenhagen's Akuttelefonen 1813, so somebody living in Roskilde and working in Copenhagen sits in a different out-of-hours system from their colleagues. Access is tighter too: PLO's February 2025 figures put 68 per cent of general practices in Region Sjælland closed to new patients, second only to North Jutland and well above the 60 per cent national figure, and Sjælland was the only region where the number of doctor capacities actually fell over the period PLO tracks, by 6.6 per cent. Roskilde Sygehus, founded in 1855 and holding 437 inpatient beds, is part of Sjællands Universitetshospital, and under the region's plans the expanded Køge site becomes the main hospital while Roskilde moves towards a specialist role. Your own læge still covers about 08:00 to 16:00 on weekdays, and that is the window an online assessment is built to work around.

Who Asks for a Medical Certificate in Roskilde
Roskilde employers (and Copenhagen employers)
A certificate from a doctor registered to assess cases in Denmark can serve as a friattest where your employer requests one, whether that employer is in Roskilde or Copenhagen. Under the sygedagpengeloven, your employer legally has the right to request one from day 1 — check your employer's own policy or overenskomst.
Roskilde University and colleges
Commonly requested as supporting documentation where illness has affected exams or coursework. Each institution sets its own evidence requirements.
Sports clubs and gyms
Clubs and gyms in Roskilde may ask for a medical clearance before participation, particularly for contact sport or a new training programme.
Insurers and other bodies
General medical certificates are sometimes requested to support insurance claims or similar administrative matters.

Denmark Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Roskilde
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Roskilde exactly as it does anywhere else in Denmark.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Denmark online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. In Denmark, employees generally self-report sickness (sygemelding) directly to their employer. Under the sygedagpengeloven (the Danish Sickness Benefits Act), an employer legally has the right to request a "friattest" (a doctor's certificate confirming inability to work) from the very first day of an absence, at the employer's expense, though in practice many only ask for one after an initial self-notification period of around 1-3 days. For longer or recurring absences, an employer may also request a "mulighedserklæring" (a capability statement used to plan a return to work). Practice varies considerably by employer and by collective agreement (overenskomst), so it is always worth checking with your employer or union about the specific documentation timing that applies to you. 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 Denmark, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Sygemelding is the self-report you generally make directly to your employer. Beyond an initial period, an employer may generally request a "friattest" (doctor's certificate confirming inability to work) or a "mulighedserklæring" (capability statement for planning a return to work). |
|---|---|
| Typical self-report period | Commonly the first 1-3 days of sickness absence, when many employers accept self-notification alone as a matter of practice, though this varies by employer and by collective agreement |
| When a certificate may generally be requested | Legally, an employer may request a friattest from day 1 of an absence under the sygedagpengeloven; in practice, most wait until beyond an initial self-notification period, particularly for longer or recurring absences, with exact timing set by employer policy or collective agreement |
| Who can generally issue it | A doctor (læge) |
| Submission process | Generally as directed by your employer's own sickness policy or an applicable collective agreement (overenskomst) |
| Governing framework | The sygedagpengeloven (Danish Sickness Benefits Act) gives employers the legal right to request documentation, together with any applicable collective agreement; there is no single statutory day-count that applies uniformly to every employee, since the law allows a request from day 1 but many employers wait longer in practice |
| Data protection law | GDPR as implemented in Denmark |
Note on documentation timing: Denmark has no statutory self-certification window that shields an employee from a certificate request for a fixed number of days. Under the sygedagpengeloven, an employer may legally request a friattest from day 1 of an absence, at the employer's cost, though many wait longer in practice. Some collective agreements set specific day thresholds; others leave the timing to employer discretion entirely. Always confirm your own obligations and entitlements directly with your employer, HR department, or trade union before relying on any general description, including this one.
Our Denmark Medical Team
Every certificate for Denmark is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Denmark. A clinician will only issue a certificate after genuinely assessing your case and if it is clinically appropriate to do so; if not, you receive a full refund rather than a certificate.
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 Roskilde.

Reg. #Medical Certificates in Roskilde: Common Questions
No. The assessment is completed online by a doctor registered to assess cases in Denmark, so your location within the country makes no difference to the process or the price. This page exists because people search for their own city.
No. The certificate is issued against national requirements rather than tied to a city, so it works the same way whether your employer is in Roskilde, Copenhagen or elsewhere in Denmark.
Legally, yes — under the sygedagpengeloven, your employer has the right to request a friattest from the very first day of an absence, at their own cost. In practice, many employers only ask for one after an initial self-report (sygemelding) period of around 1-3 days. Practice varies by employer and collective agreement.
Our certificate is €34.99 flat, including the doctor's review, the PDF and its verification reference. A typical private doctor consultation in Denmark commonly falls in the €50-€120 range. A certificate is not a substitute for care — if you need to be examined or treated, see a doctor in person.
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 before deciding.
Out-of-hours care follows where you are, and Roskilde is in Region Sjælland, so the number is 70 15 07 00 rather than the capital's 1813. Colleagues who live in Copenhagen are in a different system from you, which catches people out every winter. Either way, both exist for necessary medical help outside surgery hours rather than for producing a certificate for your employer. Where your employer is based makes no difference to the certificate itself, which is issued against Danish requirements at €34.99.
The employment rules are national rather than regional: sygedagpengeloven, funktionærloven and the rules on the use of health information in the labour market apply the same way wherever you and your employer sit. What is regional is healthcare delivery — which lægevagt number you ring, which hospital you are referred to, how hard it is to get onto a list where you live. So your entitlement to be off and your employer's right to ask for documentation do not change when you cross the regional boundary on the train. Only the practicalities of getting seen do.
A Sick Leave certificate at €34.99 covering an absence from shifts you were scheduled to work, assuming a doctor assesses the case and approves it. What it will not settle is anything about pay, which depends on your contract and, on short engagements, often on the terms of that specific agreement rather than on statute. Report the absence to your crew lead or coordinator by whatever route the contract specifies first, because that is the part with a hard deadline. If you need treating rather than documenting, on-site medical provision or the lægevagt is the right call.
Fit to Fly is the right type where a carrier wants confirmation that you are medically fit to travel, and it is €34.99 like the rest of the range. The decision to carry you is the airline's, though, and airlines with a specific concern often require their own medical clearance form completed through their own medical department, which no third party can substitute for. Ask the airline in writing what it needs and by when before you order. If the issue is fitness for the trip generally rather than for the flight, General Fitness may be the closer match.
Whether you are unfit for work is a medical judgement for the doctor rather than a question of how far the commute is, but the commute is a legitimate part of the picture, because being unable to get to the workplace safely is part of being unable to do the job. Describe the journey as well as the symptoms when you request, since that is context a doctor assessing a case in Denmark can take into account. If the honest answer is that you could work from home, say so — your employer may well prefer that to an absence, and a certificate stating you are unfit for work would not be accurate. We would rather decline a request than issue something that does not hold up.
