It works as supporting documentation for employers, airlines, insurers, clubs and study absences. It is not an eBOL: the Slovenian bolniški list is entered into the ZZZS system by your personal physician, and your employer pays an initial period of salary compensation before ZZZS takes over.

Medical Certificates in Kranj: Who Needs Them?
Kranj is the largest city of Upper Carniola and a genuine manufacturing centre rather than a dormitory town. Its industrial zone hosts Goodyear Dunlop Sava Tires, one of Slovenia's biggest employers with around 1,800 associates on a site where tyre production began in 1920 and into which Goodyear has invested more than €270 million, alongside Iskratel and a cluster of engineering and electronics suppliers. Large plants with continuous shift patterns are the strictest employers on absence documentation, and because the Slovenian employer carries an initial period of salary compensation itself, HR generally wants documentation at the start of the absence.
The city is also the gateway to Slovenia's alpine tourism, and that shapes both employment and injury patterns. Krvavec sits about 10 km from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport — the nearest ski resort to an international airport anywhere in Europe — and Kranj itself is roughly a fifteen-minute drive from that airport, which makes the city a base for aviation, ground-handling, hotel and mountain-tourism staff. Winter injuries, seasonal contracts and travel documentation all cluster here in ways they do not in, say, Maribor or Celje.
For healthcare, Kranj relies on its community health centre for primary care, with regional hospital services in Jesenice and the specialist respiratory clinic at Golnik nearby, and UKC Ljubljana half an hour down the motorway for tertiary care. The Slovenian access problem applies in full: around 140,000 people nationally have no chosen personal physician, national median waits for some procedures reach hundreds of days, and reported unmet need for medical examination due to cost, waiting times or distance stood at 4.6% in 2024 against an EU average of 3.6%. Getting a routine appointment for paperwork purposes is the bottleneck.
Commuting defines daily life here. Kranj sits on the motorway between Ljubljana and the Austrian border, a large share of its working residents commute into the capital, and people travel into Kranj from Škofja Loka, Tržič, Naklo and the Sava and Kokra valleys. That produces the familiar mismatch — employer in one place, personal physician in another, the only available appointment in the middle of a working day. Shift staff at the tyre plant, at the airport and in mountain hospitality often cannot attend a clinic during opening hours at all.
What we issue is a registered doctor's written assessment of your case as a signed PDF, for use as supporting documentation with an employer, a school, an airline, a club, an insurer or a consulate. It is not an eBOL, nothing is entered into ZZZS or made available to your employer on your behalf, and it does not on its own start statutory salary compensation — that requires your personal physician inside the Slovenian system. For travel, sport, study, insurance and visa purposes, this is exactly what it is built for.
Goodyear Dunlop Sava Tires
Around 1,800 associates at a Kranj site where tyre production started in 1920 and Goodyear has invested over €270 million.
Fifteen minutes from the airport
Kranj sits about 10 km from Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport, making it a base for aviation, ground-handling and travel-sector staff.
Alpine season and injuries
Krvavec, 10 km from the airport, is the closest ski resort to an international airport in Europe, and winter brings injury-related requests.
Regional care nearby, not local
Primary care runs through the community health centre, with hospital services in Jesenice, the Golnik respiratory clinic and UKC Ljubljana.
Motorway commuting
Many residents work in Ljubljana while their personal physician is registered in Gorenjska, so appointments cost a working day.
All Certificate Types Available in Slovenia
Every certificate type is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Slovenia. Choose the one that matches your situation, or start the assessment and answer a few questions to be routed to the right type before you pay anything. Most requests we see from Slovenia fall into sick leave, sports fitness, or general medical categories, though all types are available to everyone regardless of which one you start with.
Sick Leave Certificate
For work absence, reviewed against general Slovenian requirements. Confirms a doctor's assessment of your condition and the dates it covers, for your employer's records.
From €34.99Sports Fitness Certificate
For clubs, gradings, and competitions requiring medical clearance. Typically requested before registration or a grading, particularly for contact sports or higher-intensity training.
From €34.99General Fitness Certificate
For gym membership and training sign-up health declarations. Many gyms and personal trainers ask new members to confirm they have no condition that would make exercise unsafe.
From €34.99General Medical Certificate

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 Kranj
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Kranj 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 Kranj.

Reg. #Frequently Asked Questions
€34.99 flat, for any of the six certificate types. There is no assessment charge on top, no document fee, and no extra cost for a same-day decision — the base price you see is the whole price, whether you need sick leave, sports fitness, general fitness, fit to fly, return to work or a general medical letter.
Most Kranj cases are decided the same day and the PDF is emailed as soon as the doctor approves it. If the doctor comes back with a question before deciding, the outcome usually lands the following working day.
Yes, a registered doctor can assess a patient remotely and document their clinical opinion in writing. The limitation is clinical rather than geographic — if what you describe needs examination, imaging or tests, the doctor will decline and tell you to be seen in person.
No. The bolniški list exists as an eBOL inside the ZZZS information system, created and digitally signed there by your personal physician, and our certificate neither enters that system nor starts statutory salary compensation. It is separate supporting documentation about a doctor's assessment.
Follow their stated requirement, which for statutory sick leave means your personal physician. Large plants often have absence rules written into collective agreements, and those bind you whatever any service offers. Our certificate is still useful for travel, sport, study, insurance and employers abroad.
Sometimes, but be realistic about the limits. An acute injury usually needs examination and often imaging to assess properly, and a remote doctor will not certify what they cannot establish — they will tell you to attend urgent care or the regional hospital. Once you have been assessed in person, a return to work certificate documenting fitness to resume is a straightforward request at €34.99.
Frequently, yes, and they tend to be specific about what must be stated. Send us the insurer's own requirement with your submission so the doctor can address it. Where a claim depends on examination findings or medical records a remote assessment cannot supply, we will tell you rather than sell you a document that will fail.
For documentation purposes it almost always is, because you are neither competing for an appointment slot nor losing travel time in both directions. That is the core case for commuters. For treatment, ongoing symptoms or anything needing referral, your personal physician remains the right place to go.
Yes, fit to fly is one of the six types at the same €34.99, and most cases are decided the same day. Airlines are usually prescriptive about wording — the condition, the date range, sometimes oxygen or mobility confirmation — so include the carrier's own requirement so the doctor can write to it.
It can. Seasonal hospitality and resort contracts often set shorter notification windows and spell out exactly what evidence is required, sometimes on the first day of absence. Read the contract or ask the employer before applying, because the answer determines whether you need our certificate, an eBOL, or both.
