Medical Certificates in Constanța: Who Needs Them?
Constanța is the seat of Constanța County and home to the Port of Constanța, the largest port on the Black Sea and the largest cereal-handling port in Europe, with an annual capacity of around 100 million tonnes — driving major local employment at the National Company Maritime Ports Administration, the CNE Cernavodă nuclear power plant, and Rompetrol's refinery in nearby Năvodari, alongside a large seasonal tourism workforce around Mamaia. 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.
Port, refinery and tourism work in Constanța often runs on shift or seasonal schedules that don't line up with normal family-doctor clinic hours, and demand for same-day appointments spikes sharply during the summer tourist season. Our online service lets shift and seasonal workers submit their case any time and get assessed by a registered doctor within 24 hours, without needing to take a full day off during peak season.
Common situations we see from Constanța: port and logistics staff at the Maritime Ports Administration needing a certificate that fits around shift schedules, students at Ovidius University — the largest university on the Black Sea coast — needing medical proof for an exam deferral, and seasonal tourism and hospitality workers around Mamaia needing fast documentation during the busy summer months.
One hospital carries an unusual share of the Romanian coast. 'Sfântul Apostol Andrei' County Emergency Clinical Hospital runs roughly 1,325 continuous-hospitalisation beds — about 1,133 for adults and 192 for children — plus around 78 day-care beds, and it is the main public facility for a county whose population roughly doubles between May and September as the resorts fill. That seasonal swing does not come with a matching increase in family-doctor capacity, so from late spring the same primary-care slots are shared between residents, seasonal staff and visitors. Anyone needing routine documentation in July is queueing behind all of it.
Constanța's work patterns make clinic hours particularly awkward. The port handled about 67 million tonnes of cargo in 2025 and remains the largest on the Black Sea, having peaked at 92.6 million tonnes in 2023 during high Ukrainian grain transit — volumes that are moved by continuous port, terminal, rail and haulage shifts. The city is also the hub of Romania's maritime crewing industry, so a large local population works to rotation schedules and joining dates set months in advance, with families ashore handling paperwork in between. Add the refining and energy complex north of the city and the shipyard and ship-repair sector in the port, and a substantial part of Constanța's workforce simply cannot be at a clinic at 10am on a Tuesday.

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

From €34.99General Medical Certificate

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

Yes. Under Romanian law, any employer must accept a certificat de concediu medical issued by a licensed doctor, including Constanța's large port, industrial and tourism 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 Constanța.
Demand for same-day appointments spikes sharply during the summer tourist season, and shift schedules around the port don't always line up with clinic hours. Our online service lets you submit any time and get assessed within 24 hours.
Most Constanța cases are assessed within 24 hours, any day of the week — 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 consultation fee on top and no seasonal pricing — the same in mid-August as in February. That is a meaningful difference on a coast where private clinic fees rise with the tourist season, and it covers a registered doctor's review plus the certificate delivered as a PDF.
In the great majority of cases, yes — a decision normally inside a day, including at weekends and through the summer peak. Submissions are accepted around the clock, which is the practical point for port and terminal crews on rotating shifts and for resort staff working through the summer season when local same-day appointments are hardest to find.
Yes. Romanian law recognises medical services delivered at a distance: the framework health legislation was amended to include telemedicine, and the norms approved by Government Decision 1133/2022 have been in force since September 2022, naming teleconsultation among the recognised services. A doctor consulting remotely is bound by the same standards of care and confidentiality as in a clinic. The certificate is valid because a licensed doctor assessed and documented your case.
A fixed-term or seasonal contract does not change how medical incapacity is documented: a certificate from a licensed doctor is the same evidence for a three-month summer contract as for a permanent job. What does change is the timeline — seasonal employers often have shorter internal reporting windows and smaller teams covering each shift, so notify your manager as soon as you know you cannot work, then send the certificate. If you are employed through an agency rather than directly by the hotel or restaurant, submit it to the agency, since they are your legal employer.
