Medical Certificates in Bucharest: Who Needs Them?
Bucharest is Romania's capital and by far its largest city, generating an estimated 63% of the country's IT revenue and hosting major employers including Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, Luxoft, Endava, Vodafone, Ericsson and Hewlett Packard alongside a large public-administration and government sector. Under Romanian law, employees must notify their employer of medical leave as soon as possible and submit the certificat de concediu medical no later than the 5th of the month following the leave; the employer typically covers the first few days of pay, after which CNAS, the National Health Insurance House, covers the rest.
With so many large corporate campuses concentrated around Bucharest's Pipera, Floreasca and Victoriei business districts, booking a same-day appointment with a family doctor can mean a long wait, especially during flu season when clinic demand across the city spikes. Our online service lets you submit your case to a registered doctor within minutes, with most assessments completed within 24 hours, so you don't need to take unpaid time just to sit in a clinic waiting room.
Common situations we see from Bucharest: IT and BPO staff at firms like Oracle, Luxoft or Endava needing a fast certificate for short-notice sick leave, students at the University of Bucharest or the Politehnica University of Bucharest needing medical proof for an exam deferral, and government and public-sector employees needing compliant paperwork that meets CNAS submission deadlines.
Reaching a clinic is its own obstacle in Bucharest. The TomTom Traffic Index ranked the capital among Europe's five most congested cities in 2025, with drivers losing 171 hours — more than seven full days — to peak-hour traffic, and an average 10-kilometre trip taking over 32 minutes at rush hour. A morning appointment in Sector 1 can cost someone living in Berceni or Pantelimon half a working day before a doctor has even looked at them. For people who have recently moved to the capital the problem compounds, because nearby family doctors' patient lists are frequently full and registering somewhere new takes time you do not have when you are already ill.
What the paperwork is actually for varies sharply by sector. HR systems at the corporate campuses in Pipera, Floreasca and Orhideea expect a scanned certificate uploaded within days, while retail, HoReCa and courier work across the capital's malls and delivery networks runs on rotas that cannot absorb an undocumented absence. When primary care is not reachable in time, people default to hospitals instead: roughly five million presentations are recorded across Romanian emergency departments each year, a large share of them for complaints a family doctor could have handled, and Bucharest units such as the 730-bed Floreasca Emergency Clinical Hospital — the country's first and largest emergency hospital — absorb much of that overflow. An online assessment takes the pressure off both sides: you get documented, and an emergency bed stays free for an actual emergency.

The University of Bucharest and Politehnica University of Bucharest both accept medical certificates for exam deferrals.
Clinic Access
Busy business districts like Pipera and Floreasca see high demand for same-day GP slots. Online assessment skips the queue.

All Certificate Types Available in Romania
Every certificate type is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Romania. Choose the one that matches your situation. None of these replace the formal concediu medical used for Romania's statutory sick-pay system, which is generally issued by your own treating doctor and processed through CNAS/CJAS.
Sick Leave Certificate
For documenting illness for purposes such as your employer's internal records, freelance or remote work, or travel, outside Romania's formal concediu medical / CNAS system. Not a substitute for the statutory concediu medical if you need CNAS-recognised sick pay, but it can still be useful evidence of illness where the formal statutory process is not what you need.
From €34.99Sports Fitness Certificate
For Romania sports clubs and competitions that request medical clearance to participate. Some clubs and federations specifically require the official aviz medical sportiv from a sports medicine specialist. Check with your club first, since many accept a general medical review of your fitness while others insist on the sport-specific document. Valid 12 months.
From €34.99General Fitness Certificate
For Romania gym membership sign-up and personal training where a general health declaration is requested. It documents that a doctor has reviewed your general health information before you begin a new exercise programme.
From €34.99General Medical Certificate
For Romania insurance claims, visa applications, legal proceedings, and education-related documentation, outside the formal concediu medical system. It can also support academic mitigating-circumstances requests or other general documentation an institution has asked you for.

Bucharest's municipal administration, its six sector town halls and the national ministries based in the capital all run standard public-sector sick-leave processes.
Healthcare Employers
Bucharest's biggest hospitals — Floreasca, SUUB, Fundeni and Colentina among them — are large employers themselves, and require exactly the same certificate from their own staff.
Retail, HoReCa & Delivery
Shift managers at the capital's shopping centres, restaurants and courier networks accept a doctor-issued certificate for absences that would otherwise be logged as unexcused.

Romania Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Bucharest
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Bucharest exactly as it does anywhere else in Romania.
In Romania, the formal document tied to statutory sick pay is the concediu medical (medical leave certificate). This is generally issued by your own treating doctor and processed through the national health insurance system, CNAS (Casa Națională de Asigurări de Sănătate) and its county-level houses, the CJAS (Casa Județeană de Asigurări de Sănătate) network. It is typically required from the first day of illness that needs to be documented for statutory sick pay. Our online general medical certificate is a separate, complementary document, generally used for purposes such as insurance, visa applications, legal matters, education, sport, and travel, rather than as a replacement for the formal concediu medical. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes, a separate certificate type applies. See the full list below. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Romania, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | concediu medical, English: "medical leave certificate" |
|---|---|
| Who typically issues it | Generally your own treating doctor (family doctor or treating specialist), not a third-party online service |
| Processing body | CNAS (Casa Națională de Asigurări de Sănătate), Romania's National Health Insurance House, together with its county-level houses, the CJAS (Casa Județeană de Asigurări de Sănătate) network |
| When it is typically required | Generally from the first day of illness that needs to be documented for statutory sick pay, though this can depend on employer policy and the specifics of your case |
| What our certificate covers instead | A separate, complementary document for purposes such as insurance, visa applications, legal matters, education, sport, and travel |
| Governing framework | Romania's statutory sick-pay and national health insurance rules, generally administered via CNAS/CJAS |
| Data protection law | GDPR as implemented in Romania |
Note on concediu medical: Romania's statutory sick-pay system is generally administered through your own treating doctor and the CNAS/CJAS network, and the specific documentation, deadlines, and pay calculations can depend on your employment status, contribution history, and the reason for leave. This page describes the general pattern only. It is not a substitute for checking your specific case directly with your doctor, employer, or CNAS/CJAS.
Our Romania Medical Team
Every Romania certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Romania. A clinician will only issue a certificate after genuinely reviewing the information you provide and confirming it is clinically appropriate to do so for the certificate type you selected. If it is not, you receive a full refund. For the formal concediu medical tied to Romania's statutory sick-pay system, that document is generally issued by your own treating doctor and processed through CNAS/CJAS, rather than through this service.
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 Bucharest.

Yes. Under Romanian law, any employer must accept a certificat de concediu medical issued by a licensed doctor, including Bucharest's large IT, BPO and public-sector employers.
Yes. Romanian universities generally accept a medical certificate from a licensed doctor to support an exam deferral — check your faculty's own submission process, but the certificate itself meets the requirement.
Romanian law requires you to notify your employer as soon as possible, and submit the certificat de concediu medical no later than the 5th of the month following your leave, so your employer can process payment with CNAS.
Only if your symptoms continue beyond your certificate period. Our doctors handle the initial assessment; for ongoing care, see your regular family doctor in Bucharest.
Clinics near busy business districts like Pipera and Floreasca can book out days in advance, especially in flu season. Our online service lets you submit immediately and get assessed within 24 hours.
Most Bucharest cases are assessed within 24 hours. Once approved, you receive your certificate as a PDF by email immediately — well within the deadline for submitting it to your employer by the 5th of the following month.
€34.99, and that is the price for every certificate type — there is no separate consultation fee and no hidden add-on. It is the same flat price whether you are in Sector 1 or Sector 6, and it covers a registered doctor's review of your case plus the certificate delivered to you as a PDF by email.
In most cases, yes. You can submit your case at any hour, and most Bucharest assessments are completed within 24 hours — frequently the same day. Because the certificate arrives as a PDF by email rather than as paper collected in person, there is no clinic trip and no courier wait, which matters in a city where a 10-kilometre drive averages more than half an hour at peak times.
Yes. Telemedicine is explicitly recognised in Romanian law: Law 95/2006 was amended to cover medical services delivered at a distance, and the implementing norms approved by Government Decision 1133/2022 have applied since September 2022, listing teleconsultation among the recognised forms of care. The same professional and confidentiality obligations apply as in a clinic room. What makes a certificate valid is that a licensed doctor assessed your case and documented it — not whether you were physically in the room.
Yes. The assessment does not depend on being on a particular family doctor's patient list, which is the usual sticking point for people who have recently arrived in the capital and found the nearby lists closed. Submit your case and a registered doctor reviews it directly. You should still register with a family doctor in your sector for ongoing care, but that process does not have to block getting documented for a short illness now.
