You can request a medical certificate in Monaco-Ville online for €34.99, with most cases decided the same day and the PDF sent straight to you. A registered doctor reviews what you report and issues a dated record of that assessment, usable with an employer, a school, a club, an insurer or an airline. It is supporting documentation only — it is not the carte-lettre d'arrêt de travail that Monaco's CCSS requires for daily sickness benefit, and we do not send anything to the Caisses Sociales on your behalf.

Medical Certificates in Monaco-Ville: Who Needs Them?
Monaco-Ville is the oldest of the Principality's four traditional quarters and by far the most institutional. The Prince's Palace stands here, and with it the government, the National Council, the town hall and the Municipal Council, the courts and the prison, along with the Oceanographic Museum founded on the initiative of Prince Albert I. Its resident population is under a thousand — it recorded 975 in 2008 — but its working population on any given day is a multiple of that, made up of public servants, court staff, museum and visitor-attraction employees, and the hospitality and retail workers who serve a constant flow of visitors up the Rampe Major.
That composition matters for documentation. Public institutions, courts and museums are exactly the kind of employers that maintain written absence procedures with stated deadlines and a named person to submit to. An absence here is a recorded administrative event rather than a quiet word with a colleague, and the requirement usually arrives with a date attached.
Monaco's health and social-security arrangement is its own, and it is worth being precise about it because the detail is where people come unstuck. Employees are covered through the Caisses Sociales de Monaco, with the Caisse de Compensation des Services Sociaux — the CCSS — administering the employees' sickness scheme and CAMTI covering the self-employed. The statutory instrument for a sick leave is the carte-lettre d'arrêt de travail, issued within the Monegasque system, and it is the insured person's responsibility to send it to the CCSS within 48 hours of it being prescribed; miss that window and daily benefit can be refused. The first three days of an initial arrêt are not indemnified, and the daily benefit is calculated as half the average gross daily wage over the preceding twelve months, up to a maximum the CCSS sets.
None of which is what we issue, and that needs stating without hedging. Our certificate is a dated record of a registered doctor's assessment of what you report. It is not a carte-lettre, we do not have access to the Monegasque system to produce one, and we transmit nothing to the CCSS, to CAMTI or to any Monegasque administration. If daily sickness benefit is what is at stake, the route to it runs through a doctor operating inside the Monaco system and through your own 48-hour notification — not through this service.
Where our certificate genuinely helps is everything adjacent to that. Employers routinely want written documentation of an absence or of fitness to resume duties, over and above whatever the CCSS requires. Schools, clubs, gyms, event organisers, airlines and insurers ask for a doctor's assessment for their own purposes and have no involvement with the social-security scheme at all. Those are the cases for Sick Leave, Return to Work, Sports Fitness, General Fitness, Fit to Fly and General Medical, each at €34.99. And for anything urgent, the Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace — Monaco's only public hospital, in operation since 1902 — is the right destination rather than an online form.
The institutional heart of the Principality
The Prince's Palace, the government, the National Council, the town hall, the courts and the Oceanographic Museum all sit on the Rock — employers with written absence procedures and firm deadlines.
Under a thousand residents, thousands of workers
Monaco-Ville recorded 975 residents in 2008 but hosts public servants, museum and attraction staff, and hospitality and retail workers who commute in each day.
Not the carte-lettre d'arrêt de travail
Monaco's statutory sick-leave document is issued inside the Monegasque system and must reach the CCSS within 48 hours. We do not issue it and do not send anything to the Caisses Sociales.
One public hospital: the CHPG
The Centre Hospitalier Princesse Grace, operating since 1902, is Monaco's only public hospital and the correct destination for anything urgent. A remote assessment is not an alternative to it.
Same-day decision in most cases
Cases submitted in business hours are usually decided the same day and delivered as a PDF — useful when a personnel office wants documentation before the end of the day.

Doctor reviews your case
Reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Monaco, generally during Central European Time business hours, Monday-Friday.

Emailed same day, usually within a few hours on business days, with the reviewing doctor's details and a verification reference that your employer, school, club, or institution can scan to help confirm authenticity.
Who Accepts a Medical Certificate in Monaco-Ville
Acceptance rests with whoever asked for the document. These are the places a dated registered-doctor assessment is normally what that means — and the one place it is not.
Public institutions and the courts
Written documentation of an absence is standard for public-sector and judicial employers in Monaco-Ville. Their procedures are prescriptive, so check which document your personnel office wants and by when before relying on ours.
Hospitality, retail and visitor attractions
Employers on and around the Rock generally accept a dated certificate from a registered doctor as documentation of an absence or a return to duties, subject to their own absence policy.
Schools and training institutions
A General Medical certificate supports an absence from teaching or assessment. Each institution applies its own rules about evidence, deadlines and who must submit it.
Airlines flying from Nice
Fit to Fly certificates are used where a carrier asks for medical clearance to travel. Airlines publish their own thresholds and several require a form of their own, so check the carrier first.
Insurers assessing a claim
A dated assessment from a named registered doctor is commonly accepted into a claim file. The insurer decides the claim on its own terms.
Not the CCSS or CAMTI
Daily sickness benefit in Monaco depends on the statutory carte-lettre reaching the CCSS within 48 hours, or on CAMTI's own arrangements for the self-employed. Our certificate is neither, and we lodge nothing with either body.
Monaco 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 |

Private consultation costs are a general range, reflecting generally higher costs typical of Monaco, and vary by clinic.
The gap between our pricing and a typical private consultation in Monaco generally reflects the difference between an online assessment and an in-person clinic visit. You're paying for the doctor's review and the certificate itself, not a waiting room or receptionist time. Given Monaco's generally higher cost of living, a same-day online route is often the more practical option for many people needing documentation quickly, regardless of price. This gap tends to be smaller for specialised certificate types, like sports fitness or fit-to-fly, where finding a private clinic willing to issue same-day paperwork can take longer than the assessment itself.
Monaco Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Monaco-Ville
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Monaco-Ville exactly as it does anywhere else in Monaco.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Monaco online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. In Monaco, work absence is generally documented through an arrêt de travail (work-stoppage certificate), a term and practice that closely follows the French administrative approach used in the principality. It's typically issued by a doctor and processed through CCSS, Monaco's social services compensation fund. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes, a separate certificate type usually applies. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Monaco, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Arrêt de travail: French for "work stoppage," the general term for a medical leave certificate |
|---|---|
| Who can issue it | Generally a licensed doctor |
| Administrative approach | Monaco's administrative and legal framework for this purpose generally closely follows French practice, given the principality's close ties with France |
| Processed through | Typically routed through CCSS (Caisse de Compensation des Services Sociaux), Monaco's social services compensation fund |
| Benefit coordination | Where a benefit claim applies, Monaco's system generally involves a daily allowance (broadly similar in concept to France's indemnités journalières) coordinated through CCSS, though eligibility and the exact amount depend on individual contribution history; confirm the specific figure with CCSS directly rather than assuming a fixed rate |
| Employer notification | Monaco employers, following practice similar to France, generally expect prompt notification of an absence; we are not able to confirm a single statutory deadline specific to Monaco from public English-language sources, so confirm your exact notice window with your employer or CCSS |
| Data protection | Monaco is not an EU member state, so EU GDPR does not apply directly; Monaco maintains its own data protection framework |
Note on how firmly these details are sourced: Monaco's employment and social security framework closely follows French administrative practice, but Monaco is a separate sovereign state with its own statutes and its own CCSS fund. French rules do not automatically apply, and Monaco publishes less standardized English-language guidance than France itself. Treat the rows above as general orientation rather than a legal reference, and confirm your specific situation with CCSS or a Monaco-based employer or HR contact before relying on them for a specific case.
Our Monaco Medical Team
Every Monaco certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Monaco. We are not aware of a single centralised, English-language public register for doctors in Monaco in the way the UK's GMC provides, so rather than point you to a lookup we can't fully verify works the same way, we're direct about how the review works: a licensed doctor genuinely assesses your case, based on the information you provide and, where useful, follow-up questions, before deciding whether a certificate is appropriate.
A certificate is only issued after that genuine assessment. If a doctor decides a certificate is not clinically appropriate for your situation, for example because your case needs an in-person examination the online format cannot replace, we do not issue one, and you receive a full, automatic refund rather than being charged regardless. We do not operate on a pay-first, certificate-guaranteed basis for Monaco or anywhere else we operate.
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 Monaco-Ville.

No, and this is the most important thing to understand before you pay. The carte-lettre is the statutory Monegasque sick-leave document, prescribed inside the Monaco system, and you must send it to the CCSS within 48 hours or daily benefit can be refused. What we issue is a dated certificate recording a registered doctor's assessment — useful to an employer, a school, an insurer or a club, but not a substitute for the carte-lettre and not accepted in its place.
Public-sector and judicial employers in Monaco tend to have more prescriptive absence rules than private ones, and some require documentation through a designated channel or from a specific source. The certificate itself is a normal registered-doctor assessment with the doctor named and a verification reference. Ask your personnel office what they accept before you rely on it, because a written policy is a written policy.
Certificates are issued in English. Most employers, schools and insurers in Monaco read English documentation without difficulty, given how international the Principality's workforce is, but some administrative processes will want French. If your recipient requires a French-language document, ask them whether a translation is acceptable and from whom — establish that before you pay.
No. The three-day délai de carence on an initial arrêt is a feature of the statutory scheme, applied by the CCSS, and no certificate from any source alters it. Nor does our certificate affect how daily benefit is calculated or when it starts. If you need to understand how the waiting period applies to your situation, the CCSS is the body to ask.
No. We do not transmit documents to the CCSS, to CAMTI or to any Monegasque administration, and we are not part of that notification chain at all. The 48-hour obligation is yours, and it attaches to the statutory carte-lettre rather than to anything we issue. Treat the two as entirely separate processes, because that is what they are.
Return to Work, which addresses fitness to resume duties rather than certifying the absence. Describe what the role actually involves — hours on your feet, stairs and inclines on the Rock, outdoor work in heat — because fitness to return is judged against real demands, not a job title. If your employer separately requires an occupational assessment, that runs alongside rather than being replaced.
That is the full price of the assessment and the resulting certificate in Monaco, for any of the six types. There is no consultation fee on top, no delivery charge, no subscription and no premium tier. A second certificate later is a second assessment and is charged again at €34.99.
No. There is no residency requirement, which matters in a place where around four in five of the people employed in the Principality live outside it. What does matter is the recipient's rules: a French or Italian employer, insurer or school may have requirements of its own, and those are the binding constraint rather than your address.
Cases submitted during business hours are usually reviewed and decided the same day, with the certificate emailed as a PDF. It is a genuine review rather than an automated issue, so a case needing follow-up questions takes longer. If you are working to a deadline, submit early in the day rather than at the end of it.
You can submit at any time, but review happens in business hours, so a Sunday submission is normally picked up on the next working day. That is a real limitation for a quarter where much of the workforce works weekends. Meanwhile, notify your employer of your absence by whatever method your policy requires — that deadline does not wait for Monday.
