Yes — you can get a medical certificate in Strășeni online for a flat €34.99, with a registered doctor assessing your case and issuing a signed PDF the same day in most cases. It works as supporting documentation with employers in Strășeni or Chișinău, plus schools, insurers, clubs and airlines. It is not the certificat de concediu medical, which since March 2026 is digital only and can be issued solely by a doctor inside the Moldovan system, with the data passed automatically to CNAS.

Medical Certificates in Strășeni: Who Needs Them?
Strășeni sits roughly 23 km north-west of Chișinău, which makes it first and foremost a commuter town: the district holds some 61,000 inhabitants across 39 localities, and a large share of its working residents earn their living in the capital. The M1 national road forms the western arc of the Chișinău bypass and carries heavy commuter and freight traffic past the town. Locally, industry is anchored by a subzone of the Bălți Free Economic Zone — four delimited areas in the city's industrial zone, three brownfield and one greenfield, with around 55,000 square metres of available space — alongside the wine sector, since the Strășeni vineyard is well known for its sparkling white wines.
That commuting pattern creates the exact problem this service answers. Your employer is in Chișinău, your family doctor is registered in Strășeni, and the appointment you can get sits in the middle of a working day that already includes a commute in both directions. Since the Moldovan employer carries the opening days of a sick absence at 75% of average salary, HR wants documentation promptly, and a day spent travelling to a health centre to get it is a day nobody wants to lose.
Healthcare locally runs through the district health centre and family doctors inside the CNAM mandatory health insurance system, with the district's secondary care and any specialist work drawing heavily on facilities in Chișinău given the short distance. That proximity cuts both ways: it is close enough that people are routinely referred into the capital, and close enough that local primary-care capacity has never needed to be large. Nationally, emigration of doctors and nurses means only around one in three medical graduates continues working in the Moldovan system, and rural and small-town access has thinned most.
The year here follows both the capital's working calendar and the district's agricultural one. Winter brings the respiratory peak against the fullest family-doctor lists. The vineyard and harvest season from late summer into autumn brings temporary labour, with general fitness certificates at hiring and absence documentation during the season. Free-zone manufacturing runs to its own production schedule, and with foreign-linked investors involved, documentation expectations often follow foreign norms rather than local habit.
Be precise about what this certificate is. It records a registered doctor's assessment of your case, arrives as a signed PDF, and is intended as supporting documentation for an employer in Strășeni or Chișinău, a school, an insurer, a club, an airline or a consulate. It is not the certificat de concediu medical, nothing is registered in the state portal and no automatic notification reaches CNAS or your employer, and it does not by itself start statutory sick pay. Only a family doctor or specialist inside the Moldovan system can issue that.
A commuter town by design
About 23 km from Chișinău, with the M1 bypass carrying heavy commuter and freight traffic and much of the workforce employed in the capital.
A free-zone industrial base
Four delimited subzone areas of the Bălți Free Economic Zone sit in the city, offering around 55,000 square metres of space.
Sparkling wine country
The Strășeni vineyard, west of Chișinău, is known for its sparkling white wines, with a harvest season that drives seasonal hiring.
Thin local primary care
Proximity to the capital means limited local capacity, while nationally only about one in three medical graduates stays in the system.

Typical private consultation costs are a general range reported for Moldova and vary by clinic and location.
Our price sits above the typical private consultation range in Moldova for some certificate types, which reflects the doctor's review time, the certificate itself, and the certificate verification system, rather than a like-for-like comparison with a routine local consultation. For sick leave, general medical, and return-to-work certificates the gap is narrower, and pricing here follows the same scale used across our other Euro-priced countries.
We think it's more useful to be upfront about this gap than to disguise it: if your priority is the lowest possible cost and a routine local consultation would meet your need, that may be the better route for you. Our service is built for situations where a same-day, doctor-reviewed private document with certificate verification is what you specifically need, which is a different job than a routine in-person visit is doing.
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. Seeing the price and the local comparison side by side before you commit is, in our view, more useful than a lower headline number that hides how it compares to what's available locally.
Moldova Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Strășeni
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Strășeni exactly as it does anywhere else in Moldova.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Moldova online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. For most sickness absence in Moldova, you generally need a concediu medical, typically issued by a doctor and processed through CNAM to support an indemnizație de boală (sickness benefit) claim. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes such as insurance or visa applications, a separate certificate type generally applies: see the types below for the closest match to your situation. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Moldova, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Concediu medical (Romanian): Moldova's official language is Romanian, so terminology and general practice closely follow Romania's |
|---|---|
| General timing / requirement | Generally required to document sickness absence and support a related sickness benefit claim, though exact employer notification steps can vary |
| Who can generally issue it | Typically a doctor practising in Moldova |
| Submission timing | Generally expected to be communicated to your employer as soon as reasonably practicable, per your employer's own sickness policy; exact windows can vary by employer and sector |
| Processed through | Generally routed through CNAM (Compania Națională de Asigurări în Medicină), Moldova's National Health Insurance Company, to support an indemnizație de boală claim |
| Governing framework | General Moldovan social insurance and sickness-absence practice, administered via CNAM; specific entitlements depend on your employment situation and insurance status |
| Data protection law | Moldova's national data protection legislation, generally overseen by its national data protection authority; Moldova is not an EU member state, so EU GDPR does not apply directly here |
Note on cross-border and benefit questions: Because Moldova's terminology and general practice closely mirror Romania's, given the shared official language, some employers or institutions with cross-border ties may ask questions specific to which country's system applies. Moldova and Romania remain separate national systems, so confirm which country's specific rules apply to your case, and check current CNAM guidance directly if your situation involves an indemnizație de boală claim, as procedures are reviewed periodically.

A flat €34.99 for any of the six certificate types. There is no separate consultation fee, no document charge and no extra cost for a same-day decision.
Most cases are decided the same day and the signed PDF is emailed as soon as a registered doctor approves it. The usual exception is a follow-up question from the doctor, which normally moves the decision to the next working day.
It is precisely the situation the service suits. Nothing about the assessment depends on where you live, where you work or where your family doctor is registered, so the usual bind — employer in one place, health centre in another, appointment in the middle of a working day — simply does not apply.
No. Statutory sick pay runs on the digital certificat de concediu medical, registered inside the national system by a family doctor or specialist, with automatic notification to the employer and data sent to CNAS. Nothing we issue enters that chain. Our certificate is supporting evidence that a registered doctor assessed you.
The employer covers the opening days of a common illness or non-work accident at 75% of average salary — up to five days per absence and no more than fifteen days cumulatively in a calendar year — before state social insurance takes over. That process depends on the statutory digital certificate, which we cannot issue.
Ask for their requirement in writing and follow it, because their policy governs regardless of where you live. Location is rarely the objection — the format usually is. If they need the statutory digital certificate, your family doctor is the only route to it.
For general employment documentation, yes, at €34.99. Free-zone manufacturers with foreign investors sometimes require an occupational-health assessment under national rules for particular roles, which needs a designated examination that we cannot replace. Ask the employer which they mean before ordering.
Yes, at the same €34.99, and it suits gyms, recreational sport and amateur events. If a federation or organiser requires examination by a designated doctor or its own form completed afterwards, ours will not satisfy that requirement, so check the entry conditions before applying.
Yes. The certificate is a private assessment by a registered doctor and does not depend on being registered with a family doctor or on CNAM insurance. What it cannot do is produce the statutory digital certificate, so for paid statutory sick leave you will still need to be inside the national system.
No. The review happens when a doctor picks the case up, and you do not need to be in a particular place or available at a particular time — the PDF simply arrives by email on approval. That is what makes it workable around a commute or a shift.
