Medical Certificates in Cluj-Napoca: Who Needs Them?
Cluj-Napoca is the seat of Cluj County and Romania's second-largest tech hub, home to an estimated 20,000+ IT professionals across hundreds of companies — Bosch Engineering Center Cluj alone employs over 1,200 people on autonomous driving and IoT projects, Yardi runs an 800-person campus, and Banca Transilvania, Romania's largest bank by assets, runs its technology operations from the city. 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 following month; the employer covers the first few days of pay, with CNAS covering the rest.
With such a concentrated, fast-growing tech workforce, Cluj-Napoca's family doctor clinics — especially those near the city centre and Zorilor district — can be booked out days in advance, and many international staff struggle to navigate a Romanian-language booking system. Our online service lets you submit your case in English within minutes and get assessed by a registered doctor within 24 hours, without needing to leave your desk or disrupt a sprint.
Common situations we see from Cluj-Napoca: software engineers at firms like Bosch, Yardi or Banca Transilvania needing a same-day certificate for short-notice sick leave, students at Babeș-Bolyai University or the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca needing medical proof for an exam deferral, and international tech employees who need English-language paperwork that still satisfies CNAS and their employer's requirements.
Cluj-Napoca is a regional medical capital, which is not the same thing as a city where a sick note is easy to get. The Cluj County Emergency Clinical Hospital operates around 1,592 beds, the 'Prof. Dr. Octavian Fodor' Regional Institute of Gastroenterology and Hepatology treats roughly 30,000 patients a year, and the 'Prof. Dr. Ion Chiricuță' Oncology Institute — a member of the Organisation of European Cancer Institutes — runs close to 600 beds. All three are referral centres drawing patients from across Transylvania, so the city's clinical capacity is committed to complex cases rather than to same-day appointments for a two-day fever. That leaves routine documentation competing with everything else for family-doctor slots.
Demand also arrives in waves that have nothing to do with flu season. Untold drew more than 470,000 people to Cluj-Napoca over four days in August 2025 and generated an estimated €120 million for the local economy, with Electric Castle at nearby Bonțida adding a second festival peak — and both run on thousands of short-term hospitality, security and production staff whose contracts leave no room for an undocumented absence. Cluj Avram Iancu is now Romania's second-busiest airport, handling 3.58 million passengers in 2025, which puts another layer of shift-based ground-handling, aviation and travel-sector work into the same city. For all of them, the constraint is not the illness, it is producing proof of it before a rota gets rewritten.

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.

Romania Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Cluj-Napoca
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Cluj-Napoca 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 Cluj-Napoca.

Yes. Under Romanian law, any employer must accept a certificat de concediu medical issued by a licensed doctor, including Cluj-Napoca's large IT and banking 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 Cluj-Napoca.
Clinics near the city centre and Zorilor district can book out days in advance in a fast-growing city. Our online service lets you submit immediately and get assessed within 24 hours.
Most Cluj-Napoca 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 for every certificate type, with no separate consultation fee. It is a single flat price, so there is no difference between a certificate needed for a short illness and one needed for a longer absence, and nothing is added for out-of-hours submission — which matters in a city where private clinics charge a consultation fee on top of any documentation.
Usually. Cluj-Napoca submissions arrive at any hour and are normally decided inside a day, often within a few hours. That matters most in the two periods when local clinic demand spikes together: the January and June exam sessions, and the August festival weeks when the city's population swells by hundreds of thousands.
Yes. Romanian law defines telemedicine as medical services provided at a distance without the simultaneous physical presence of doctor and patient, and the implementing norms approved by Government Decision 1133/2022 recognise teleconsultation as a form of care. The doctor still has to take a proper history, reach a clinical judgement and document it — the assessment is real, only the room is missing. A certificate is valid because a licensed doctor issued it after assessing you.
A certificate issued by a licensed doctor is medical documentation, and an employer cannot simply decide it does not count because the assessment happened remotely. If HR pushes back, ask them to name the specific requirement it fails to meet — in practice the objection is almost always procedural, such as which portal to upload it to or who countersigns it, rather than anything about the certificate itself. Large Cluj-Napoca employers with international HR systems are generally the most used to handling them.
