Yes — a registered doctor can assess your case online and issue a medical certificate for Kumanovo, in most cases the same day, for a flat €34.99. Use it as supporting documentation with employers, colleges, clubs, insurers and airlines. It is not the FZOM sick leave certificate: under North Macedonian rules the employer pays the first 30 days of a sick absence and only a doctor inside the FZOM system can issue and register the document that drives that.

Medical Certificates in Kumanovo: Who Needs Them?
Kumanovo is the third-largest city in North Macedonia with over 70,000 inhabitants, and the centre of the Northeastern region. Its economy leans on metal processing, textiles, leather, food and tobacco production, alongside agriculture and trade — a mix dominated by manufacturing and shift work rather than offices. That matters for paperwork: production employers run the tightest absence rules, need to know quickly whether someone is coming in, and, because the first 30 days of sick pay in North Macedonia fall on the employer, generally want documentation at the start of an absence rather than at the end of it.
The public General Hospital Kumanovo on 11-ti Oktomvri is the secondary-care facility for the city and serves a catchment of roughly 200,000 residents across the northeast. Primary care goes through your chosen GP in the FZOM system. The constraint is supply: more than 1,200 doctors have emigrated from North Macedonia over an eight-year period, primary-care GP numbers declined again in 2024, and in national survey work 58% of respondents named appointment waiting times as a serious problem in accessing care. In a regional city with one general hospital, that is felt directly.
Requests from Kumanovo cluster in two windows. The winter respiratory season from November through February produces the bulk of them, made worse by the fact that GP lists are at their fullest exactly then. A second, quieter cluster runs through the summer, when families travelling abroad need fit to fly or general medical documentation for airlines, insurers and consulates, and when returning diaspora relatives discover they need medical paperwork with no chosen GP in the country to produce it.
Kumanovo is, above all, a commuter city. The A1 motorway links it to Skopje in around half an hour, and there are dozens of scheduled bus departures a day in each direction; a large share of working residents earn their living in the capital. That creates a specific, familiar bind — your employer is in Skopje, your chosen GP is in Kumanovo, and the appointment slot you can get sits in the middle of your working day. An online assessment breaks that loop, because nothing about it requires you to be in either city at a particular time.
What arrives in your inbox is a registered doctor's written assessment of your case, as a signed PDF. It is supporting documentation for an employer, a college, a club, an insurer, an airline or a visa file. It is not the statutory FZOM sick leave certificate, we do not lodge it with FZOM or with your employer, and on its own it does not trigger statutory sick pay — that document can only come from a doctor working inside the national system. For travel, sport, study, insurance and visa purposes, though, it is exactly the right instrument.
Manufacturing and shift work
Metal processing, textiles, leather, food and tobacco dominate local employment, and those employers run the strictest absence documentation rules.
General Hospital Kumanovo
The public hospital on 11-ti Oktomvri serves a catchment of roughly 200,000 residents across the Northeastern region.
Daily commute to Skopje
The A1 motorway and dozens of daily bus departures put Skopje around half an hour away, so many residents work in one city and are registered with a GP in another.
Thin primary-care supply
GP numbers in North Macedonian primary care fell again in 2024 after sustained emigration of doctors, lengthening appointment waits outside the capital.

North Macedonia 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 |
| Return to Work Certificate | €34.99 | €50-€120 |
| General Medical Certificate | €34.99 | €50-€120 |
Typical private consultation costs are a general range reported for North Macedonia and vary by clinic, city, and provider.
The difference generally reflects overhead: an in-person consultation carries clinic, receptionist, and travel time that an online assessment does not. You are paying for the doctor's review and the certificate itself, with same-day delivery in most cases and no need to take time off to sit in a waiting room. Sports fitness and fit-to-fly certificates are the same price as a general medical certificate, even though they generally involve a more detailed assessment of a specific activity or procedure.
North Macedonia Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Kumanovo
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Kumanovo exactly as it does anywhere else in North Macedonia.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in North Macedonia online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. In North Macedonia, sick leave from work is generally supported by a doctor's certificate confirming боледување (boleduvanje), generally processed through the Fond za zdravstveno osiguruvanje na Makedonija. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes such as visas or insurance, a separate certificate type applies: see the options below to find the one that matches your situation. Each type is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in North Macedonia. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for North Macedonia, even where the official local term differs.
| Local term for sick leave | Боледување (boleduvanje): the general term for a period of sick leave from work, generally supported by a doctor's confirmation of the illness rather than a single separately named document. |
|---|---|
| When it's typically needed | Generally, a doctor's certificate confirming the illness and its duration is required to support an absence from work, though internal employer steps and timing can vary by workplace. |
| Who can typically issue it | Generally a licensed physician within North Macedonia's healthcare system, following a genuine clinical assessment of the case. |
| Notifying your employer | Generally, employees are expected to inform their employer of a sickness absence as soon as reasonably possible, with the doctor's confirming documentation following once an assessment is complete. The exact internal process can vary by workplace. |
| Typical certified period | A doctor certifies the period their assessment genuinely supports, which can range from a single day to a longer period for more serious conditions, rather than a fixed duration agreed in advance. |
| Governing framework | Generally processed through the Fond za zdravstveno osiguruvanje na Makedonija (Health Insurance Fund of North Macedonia), which oversees health insurance and related absence matters. |
| Data protection law | North Macedonia's Law on Personal Data Protection, developed in alignment with EU data protection standards as part of the country's EU accession process. |
Note on documentation: North Macedonia does not appear to use one single separately-named certificate document distinct from боледување (boleduvanje) itself. Unlike some neighbouring countries, the process generally centres on a doctor's certification of the illness and its duration rather than a distinct named form. Confirm current requirements with the Fond za zdravstveno osiguruvanje na Makedonija or your employer before relying on this for a specific case.

Our Medical Team for North Macedonia
Every certificate issued for North Macedonia is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in North Macedonia, based on a genuine clinical assessment of the health information you provide and, where needed, follow-up questions asked through the same online portal. If a certificate is not clinically appropriate, for example, if your case needs an in-person examination or further investigation, the doctor will decline to issue one, and you receive a full, automatic refund. We do not operate on a pay-first, questions-later basis: no certificate is guaranteed simply because a request was submitted.
Doctor credentials are shown on your certificate, and the reference number lets anyone checking it verify the certificate directly rather than relying on our word for it. If you ever have a concern about the assessment you received, our complaints process sits alongside, not instead of, your right to raise it through the appropriate channel for a doctor practising in North Macedonia. We would always prefer to resolve a concern ourselves first, but we won't suggest that using our service replaces a doctor's normal professional accountability.
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 Kumanovo.

Reg. #Frequently Asked Questions
€34.99 as a flat base price, identical across all six certificate types — sick leave, sports fitness, general fitness, fit to fly, return to work and general medical. Nothing is added for the assessment itself or for the PDF.
Usually, yes. Once you submit the online assessment a registered doctor reviews it and, if approved, the signed PDF is emailed straight to you. Cases where the doctor needs to ask follow-up questions take longer and often complete the next working day.
A registered doctor is entitled to assess a patient remotely and document their opinion in writing, and that document stands on its own terms. What it is not is an entry in the North Macedonian statutory system. Separately, some conditions simply need hands-on examination — the doctor will say so and decline rather than issue something unsafe.
No. The FZOM process runs on a statutory certificate issued and registered by a doctor inside the national system, normally your chosen GP, and nothing we issue enters that system or starts statutory sick pay. Our document is supporting evidence that a registered doctor assessed you — genuinely useful in many situations, but not that one.
Ask them, in writing, exactly what they require. If the answer is the statutory form, get it from your chosen GP — an internal absence policy binds you whatever any provider says. Our certificate names the assessing doctor and their registration, is dated and states the period assessed, which satisfies many HR teams, but acceptance is always the employer's call.
Yes, return to work is one of the six types at the same €34.99. It documents a registered doctor's assessment that you are fit to resume, which production and logistics employers often want on file before putting you back on a line or a vehicle. If your employer requires a specific occupational-health examination instead, that is a different process and ours will not replace it.
For documentation purposes it usually is, because you are not competing for an appointment and you are not losing travel time. That is the real gain for commuters: your GP is in Kumanovo, your employer is in Skopje, and a mid-morning clinic slot costs you the whole day. For actual treatment or anything ongoing, your GP remains the right place.
A doctor can only document what they can reasonably assess, and assessing a past period they had no contact with is limited by definition. Some retrospective cases can be documented with an accurate history, many cannot, and the doctor decides on the facts. Apply as early in the absence as you can rather than weeks afterwards.
It depends on the purpose, not the job. Off sick now — sick leave. Cleared to go back after being off — return to work. Being hired into a physical role and asked to show general health — general fitness. If the employer names a statutory occupational-health examination, none of the six is a substitute for it, so check the wording first.
Yes, and this is a frequent request from Kumanovo households with family members employed abroad or working remotely for foreign companies. An English-language document naming a registered doctor is usually far more usable in a foreign HR system than a translated national form would be.
