Getting a Medical Certificate in Strasbourg
Strasbourg is a major EU institutional city in Grand Est, home to the European Parliament, alongside a substantial cross-border workforce given its position near the German border, and Université de Strasbourg. Whichever of those you are connected to, the statutory position on sick leave is French and identical everywhere in the country: no self-certification period, and an arrêt de travail generally needed from the first day of absence.
Université de Strasbourg carries a large student population, and illness affecting exams or coursework is usually handled through the institution's own mitigating-circumstances process, with its own evidence requirements.
There's no in-person appointment to book in Strasbourg. The case is assessed online by a doctor registered to assess cases in France, and your location within the country makes no difference to how that works.
A major EU institutional city
Home to the European Parliament and a substantial international and public-sector workforce. France's arrêt de travail requirement from day one applies the same way across all of it.
Université de Strasbourg
Illness affecting exams or coursework is generally handled through the university's own process, with its own evidence requirements set at department level.
Close to the German border
A meaningful share of the workforce lives or works across the border. Which country you are actually employed in decides which sick-leave rules apply to your absence — worth establishing before requesting anything.
When getting seen quickly is the obstacle
If a same-day appointment isn't realistic while you're unwell, an online assessment is a reasonable way to get an arrêt de travail issued without adding a journey across the city.

A doctor registered to assess cases in France reviews

Receive your PDF
Emailed same day, usually within 30 minutes of approval, carrying the doctor's credentials and a verification reference so employers, clubs, or airlines can confirm authenticity independently.
Who Asks for a Medical Certificate in Strasbourg
Employers in France
France has no self-certification period, so an arrêt de travail is generally expected from the first day of any sickness absence. Ours is issued through a first-intention teleconsultation, covering an initial period of around 3 days; a longer or renewed absence generally needs your own doctor or a longer consultation. If you are employed in Germany, German rules govern your absence instead — check which applies to you.
Université de Strasbourg and schools
Commonly requested as supporting documentation where illness has affected exams or coursework. Each institution sets its own evidence requirements.
Sports clubs
A certificat médical de non contre-indication is commonly required for club membership and competition registration, particularly for contact or endurance sports. The club or federation sets the requirement.
Insurers and public bodies
General medical certificates for insurance claims and CPAM-related matters. These generally want evidence that a genuine medical assessment took place, rather than a particular format.

France Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Strasbourg
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Strasbourg exactly as it does anywhere else in France.
Unlike some countries that allow a short self-certification window, France has no self-certification period for sickness absence. Any period of illness generally requires an arrêt de travail (work stoppage certificate) issued by a doctor, typically from the first day of absence. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes (insurance, visa, legal proceedings), a separate certificate type applies: see the full list below. Each certificate type has its own typical audience and format, so matching the right one to your situation matters as much as getting it issued quickly. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for France, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Arrêt de travail, literally a "work stoppage," commonly translated as a "work stoppage certificate" or sick leave certificate. |
|---|---|
| Self-certification period | None. France does not operate a self-certification window of the kind found in some other countries: a doctor's arrêt de travail is generally required from the first day of sickness absence. |
| When a certificate is required | Generally from day one of any sickness absence, however short |
| Who can legally issue it | A licensed physician (médecin), generally after a genuine consultation. Teleconsultation-issued arrêts are typically limited to an initial period of around 3 days when issued as a first-intention teleconsultation (i.e. not with your usual doctor) |
| Submission deadline | The parts of the arrêt de travail generally need to reach CPAM (Caisse Primaire d'Assurance Maladie) and your employer within 48 hours of issue |
| Governing framework | The Code de la Sécurité Sociale provisions on arrêts de travail and indemnités journalières, applied in practice via Assurance Maladie and explained on Service-Public.fr |
| Data protection law | RGPD, the French name for the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which applies directly, complemented in France by the Loi Informatique et Libertés |
Note on teleconsultation reimbursement: Since 1 July 2025, arrêts de travail issued through a first-intention teleconsultation, meaning a consultation with a doctor who is not your usual or regular physician, have generally not been reimbursed as indemnités journalières (IJ, the daily sick-pay allowance) by Assurance Maladie. This is a reimbursement-eligibility nuance, not a validity issue: the certificate itself remains a legitimate arrêt de travail either way. Always check current Assurance Maladie rules on IJ eligibility before relying on reimbursement for a specific case.

It depends on where you are employed, not where you live. Our France certificates are issued against French requirements by a doctor registered to assess cases in France. If your employer is in Germany, your absence is governed by German rules instead, which differ from France's — including on whether any self-certification period applies. Establish which applies before requesting one.
No. The assessment is online and reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in France, 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.
Our certificate is €34.99 flat, covering the doctor's review, the PDF and its verification reference. A typical private in-person doctor visit in France commonly falls in the €50-€120 range. It isn't a substitute for care — if you need to be examined or treated, see a doctor in person.
It covers an initial period of around 3 days, the limit that applies to an arrêt de travail issued through a first-intention teleconsultation — a doctor who isn't your usual one, which is what this service provides. A longer or renewed absence generally needs a follow-up with your own treating doctor or a longer consultation. See the national legal snapshot for the full framework.
It can support one, but the institution sets its own evidence requirements and some ask for specific wording. Check what your department actually requires before requesting the certificate, and tell us who it's for.
