Yes — a registered doctor can assess your case online and issue a medical certificate for Celje, usually the same day, for a flat €34.99. It serves as supporting documentation for employers, schools, clubs, insurers and travel. It is not an eBOL: in Slovenia the bolniški list is entered into the ZZZS information system by your personal physician, with the employer paying an initial period of salary compensation before ZZZS takes over.

Medical Certificates in Celje: Who Needs Them?
Celje is the third-largest city in Slovenia and the commercial centre of the Savinja region, with a long industrial history and a chemical and metallurgical base anchored by Cinkarna Celje. Around that sit engineering, construction, retail and distribution employers, plus the exhibition and conference business built around the Celje fairground, which brings large temporary workforces into the city for individual events. Employers in industry and events both need to know quickly whether someone is coming in, and both tend to require an absence to be documented in writing from the first day rather than retrospectively.
The city's healthcare anchor is General Hospital Celje, the third-largest hospital in Slovenia with just over 2,000 staff and the only institution in the Savinja region providing continuous, round-the-clock healthcare. That makes it the regional fallback for a wide catchment, which in turn concentrates demand. Primary care, though, has the same national constraint as everywhere else in Slovenia: around 140,000 people have no chosen personal physician, waiting times are publicly reported by the National Institute of Public Health, and national median waits for some procedures run into hundreds of days.
Seasonally, Celje has an unusual driver in its trade-fair calendar. Major exhibitions at the Celje fairground concentrate short-term hospitality, security, stand-building and logistics work into a few intense weeks, and those contracts almost always specify how an absence must be evidenced. Beyond that, winter brings the respiratory peak against the fullest GP lists, September brings school and college absence paperwork, and the warmer months bring travel documentation and sports fitness requests for the amateur competition season.
The geography around Celje reinforces the appointment problem. Households across the Savinja region — from the Šalek valley, Laško, Šentjur, Slovenske Konjice and Žalec — travel into the city for both work and appointments, and regional rail and road links funnel commuters through Celje toward Ljubljana and Maribor. For shift staff in chemical, metal and distribution work, a daytime clinic slot is not a small inconvenience: it means losing the shift. An online assessment removes both the travel and the appointment from the problem.
Be precise about what the certificate is. It documents a registered doctor's assessment of your case, arrives as a signed PDF, and is intended as supporting documentation for an employer, a school, a club, an insurer, an airline or a consulate. It is not an eBOL, we enter nothing into ZZZS and transmit nothing to your employer, and it does not by itself start statutory salary compensation — only your personal physician inside the Slovenian system can issue the bolniški list. For travel, sport, study, insurance and visa purposes, this is the right instrument.

All Certificate Types Available in Slovenia
Every certificate type is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Slovenia.

Typical private consultation costs are a general range reported for private clinics in Slovenia and vary by location and provider.
The difference between our pricing and a typical private consultation generally reflects the lower overhead of an online assessment compared to an in-person clinic visit; you are paying for the doctor's review and the certificate itself, not a waiting room, receptionist time, or travel to and from a clinic. Pricing is higher for sports fitness and fit-to-fly certificates because those assessments generally involve more detailed questions about activity type or travel circumstances before a doctor can reach a decision. None of our certificate types requires an upfront payment before a doctor has reviewed your case, so you are never charged for a request that does not result in a certificate.
Slovenia Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Celje
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Celje exactly as it does anywhere else in Slovenia.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Slovenia online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. In Slovenia, work absence due to illness is generally supported by a "bolniški list" (sick leave certificate), issued by a doctor and processed through ZZZS, Slovenia's Health Insurance Institute. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes such as insurance or visa applications, a separate certificate type generally applies: see the full list below. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Slovenia, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | "Bolniški list": the sick leave certificate. The general term for the underlying absence is "bolniška odsotnost." |
|---|---|
| Self-certification period | Slovenia does not apply a single nationwide self-certification window in the way some other countries do; a bolniški list is generally expected to support a period of sickness absence from early on. Exact employer expectations can vary, so always check your own employer's sickness policy. |
| When a certificate is generally required | A bolniški list is typically issued by a doctor once a period of sickness absence begins, covering the certified dates. |
| Who can generally issue it | Typically a licensed doctor, with the process running through ZZZS, particularly for longer periods of absence. |
| Submission deadline | Generally as soon as reasonably possible after your assessment, following your employer's own policy and any ZZZS processing steps that apply for the length of your absence. |
| Governing framework | ZZZS: Zavod za zdravstveno zavarovanje Slovenije, the Health Insurance Institute of Slovenia. |
| Data protection law | Slovenia applies the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) alongside national implementing legislation. |
Note on employer policies: Bolniški list and bolniška odsotnost processes, and the point at which ZZZS becomes involved, can vary by employer and by the length of absence, and related thresholds are reviewed periodically. Confirm current requirements with ZZZS or your employer's HR policy at the time you need them, as these details can change.
Our Slovenia Medical Team
Every Slovenia certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Slovenia. A clinician will only issue a certificate after genuinely reviewing the health information you provide and, where needed, asking follow-up questions through the same online portal.
If a certificate is not clinically appropriate for your situation, for example if it 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, certificate-guaranteed basis, and any concern about a specific assessment can be raised with us directly, in addition to any right you may have to raise it with the relevant medical authority.
You can always ask to see the credentials behind a specific certificate, and nothing in our process is designed to make that harder than dealing with a doctor face to face. The same clinical standard applies whichever certificate type you request, whether that is sick leave, sport, travel, or a general medical need; the review itself does not change based on the label on the document.
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 Celje.

Reg. #Frequently Asked Questions
€34.99 as a flat base price, the same across all six certificate types we issue. There is no separate consultation fee, no charge for the document, and no premium for a faster decision.
Usually yes. You submit the online assessment, a registered doctor reviews it, and the signed PDF is emailed on approval. Cases needing a follow-up question from the doctor take longer and commonly complete the next working day.
A registered doctor is entitled to assess a patient remotely and document their clinical opinion, and the certificate rests on that assessment. Where symptoms require examination or investigation the doctor will say so and point you to General Hospital Celje or your personal physician instead of issuing a document.
No. The eBOL is created by your personal physician inside the ZZZS information system, digitally signed there, and retrieved by your employer from that system — none of which our certificate does, and it does not start statutory salary compensation. It is supporting evidence of a registered doctor's assessment, which is a different and narrower thing.
Get their requirement in writing and meet it. If they need an eBOL, your personal physician is the only source, and no online provider can change that. Where our document does carry weight it is because it names the assessing doctor and registration, is dated, and states the period assessed — but the decision rests with them.
Yes, general fitness is one of the six types at the same €34.99, documenting a registered doctor's assessment. Event contractors sometimes require something narrower, such as a working-at-height or food-handling clearance governed by occupational-health rules, and those need a designated examination that ours does not replace. Check the exact wording of the request first.
Schools generally require written medical documentation to excuse an extended absence, and a dated certificate from a registered doctor is the normal form. Individual schools set their own rules on when it has to be submitted and by whom, so it is worth a call to the school office before applying.
You are far from alone — around 140,000 people in Slovenia currently have no chosen personal physician, which leaves no obvious route to routine medical paperwork. A private assessment by a registered doctor fills that gap for travel, study, sport, insurance and many employer purposes. It still cannot produce an eBOL, so for statutory sick leave you need to get onto a physician's list.
The certificate is issued in English, which is usually an advantage rather than a limitation: airlines, insurers, foreign employers and consulates generally prefer it. If a Slovenian recipient specifically requires Slovenian-language documentation, check that with them before you apply.
No, the €34.99 base price does not vary with the length of the period assessed. What does vary is what a doctor can responsibly certify remotely: longer periods and anything with an uncertain course usually need in-person review, and the doctor will limit or decline rather than sign off a date range they cannot justify.
