Yes. From Toulouse, your case is reviewed online by a registered doctor, with no appointment and no travel. All six certificate types are a flat €34.99, delivered as a PDF. It states the doctor's findings for an employer, school, club or insurer in France. It is not the avis d'arrêt de travail transmitted to CPAM.

Getting a Medical Certificate in Toulouse
Toulouse is the centre of the French aerospace industry, home to Airbus and a wide network of suppliers and engineering firms in Occitanie, alongside Université de Toulouse. The statutory position is the same whichever of those you work for: no self-certification period, and an arrêt de travail generally needed from the first day of sickness absence.
Université de Toulouse carries a large student population, and illness affecting exams, coursework or a placement is usually handled through the institution's own mitigating-circumstances process, with its own evidence requirements.
There's no Toulouse premises involved at any point — the assessment is online, start to finish, reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in France regardless of where in the country you're based.
The scale of aerospace employment around Toulouse shapes how absence gets handled here. Airbus employs roughly 17,000 people across its Toulouse sites and around 33,000 across Occitanie, including some 9,000 at the Blagnac global headquarters and about 5,000 in the space division south of the city, and once indirect employment is counted roughly 65,000 people in the area work in aeronautics. The group is currently extending its Toulouse footprint across a further 18 hectares, with the work due to complete in 2028. Assembly, test and production roles are rostered rather than flexible, while hospital care for the city itself sits mainly with the CHU de Toulouse across Purpan and Rangueil.
What a short absence actually costs you in Toulouse depends less on the certificate than on your contract. CPAM's daily sickness benefit starts only after a three-day waiting period, and the Code du travail's minimum complementary payment from the employer carries a separate seven-day waiting period — which many conventions collectives, including those common in aerospace and engineering, shorten or remove entirely. Two colleagues on the same site can therefore lose very different amounts for the same two days off. Checking your convention collective before you assume you are covered is worth more than any document we can issue.
The centre of French aerospace
Airbus and a wide network of engineering and supplier firms. Absence procedures vary by employer; the national requirement for an arrêt de travail from day one does not.
Université de Toulouse
Illness affecting exams, coursework or a placement is generally handled through the university's own process, with its own evidence requirements set at department level.
Club and school sport
Toulouse has a strong rugby culture alongside football and other club sports. A certificat médical de non contre-indication is commonly requested by the club or federation.
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.

Who Asks for a Medical Certificate in Toulouse
Toulouse employers
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 — see the national legal snapshot for the detail.
Université de Toulouse and schools
Commonly requested as supporting documentation where illness has affected exams, coursework or a placement. 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 Toulouse
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Toulouse exactly as it does anywhere else in France.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in France online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. 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.

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.
No — that would be a company-level policy layered on top of the law at most, not a substitute for it. France has no statutory self-certification period: an arrêt de travail is generally required from the first day of any sickness absence, however short.
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.
It is the full price — one flat €34.99 covering the doctor's review, the issued PDF and its verification reference, with no consultation fee, delivery fee or express option layered on top. The same figure applies to all six certificate types. If the doctor concludes your case does not support issuing a certificate, you do not receive one.
Approved certificates are issued the same day as the assessment. The variable is not your location but how complete your answers are — a case with gaps has to come back to you before a doctor can reach a view, which is the usual cause of delay. If your absence has already started, submitting early in the day gives you the most room against the 48-hour deadline for informing your employer.
For documenting a sickness absence, the same national rules apply whatever the industry. For fitness to perform a safety-critical post, though, that judgement generally belongs to your employer's médecin du travail, and a large aerospace employer will usually have its own occupational health process rather than accepting a general certificate. Licensed aviation roles have their own aeromedical examiner regime entirely, which is separate from anything we issue. Ask which of those three things is being requested before paying for a certificate.
Possibly nothing, possibly two days' pay — it depends on your convention collective rather than on the certificate. CPAM pays no daily benefit for the first three days, and the Code du travail's minimum employer top-up has its own seven-day waiting period, but many collective agreements in the Toulouse aerospace and engineering sector reduce or remove that employer waiting period. Look up your convention collective or ask HR, because that answer decides whether documenting the absence protects income or only your record.
Probably not for that purpose. The médecin du travail is the occupational physician attached to your employer's health service, and only that doctor rules on your fitness for your particular post — including at the visite de reprise the employer must arrange after a long absence. That consultation is organised through your employer, not bought online. A return-to-work certificate from us can accompany it as supporting documentation, but it does not replace the appointment.
