Yes — anyone in Seville can have a case assessed online by a registered doctor without booking an appointment. There is one flat price, €34.99, across all six certificate types. It states the doctor's findings for an employer, school, club or insurer in Spain. It is not the parte de baja, which runs through the public system or your mutua.

Getting a Medical Certificate in Seville
Seville is Andalusia's capital and one of Spain's major historic and cultural centres, with an economy built around tourism, a large public sector, and a growing aerospace and engineering cluster around companies with a long-standing presence in the region. Documentation practices vary considerably across that mix — a public-sector role generally comes with a formal, written absence process, while much of the tourism and hospitality sector runs on the statutory minimum alone.
The city is also home to Universidad de Sevilla, one of the largest universities in Spain. Illness during exams or coursework is generally handled through a formal faculty process with its own evidence requirements, so it is worth checking that wording before requesting a certificate.
Seville has no clinic of ours to walk into: your case is reviewed entirely online by a doctor registered to assess cases in Spain, wherever in the country you happen to be. That is the whole point — you don't need to be well enough to cross Seville to a waiting room, or to catch an appointment slot, to have a doctor look at your case.
Seville’s aerospace cluster is a bigger employer than its tourist profile implies. Airbus Defence and Space runs the A400M, C295 and CN235 final assembly lines from its San Pablo site, a facility of roughly 4,500 people, with the Tablada plant nearby building fuselage sections for the Eurodrone programme; around 1,100 Airbus Defence and Space staff work across the two. The wider Andalusian aerospace cluster employs some 15,200 people directly across more than 140 companies, and Seville province accounts for about 78% of that regional employment. Assembly and supply-chain work here runs to shift patterns and delivery schedules, which is exactly the kind of workplace where absence procedures are written down and deadlines for filing documentation are specific. Reading yours before you need it is worth the ten minutes.
Heat is a real and legally recognised feature of working life in Seville. Since a 2023 reform of the occupational risk rules, certain outdoor work is prohibited during AEMET orange or red heat alerts where the available preventive measures cannot guarantee protection — construction, agriculture, street cleaning, delivery, gardening and outdoor events among them — and there is a right to paid leave of up to four days where extreme weather prevents the work being done or reached safely. That matters because a heat stoppage is a health-and-safety measure, not a medical absence, and the two need different paperwork. On access to a doctor, Andalusia recorded the longest primary-care waits in Spain in the 2025 Barómetro Sanitario, at 11.16 days on average against a national 8.85.
Tourism and a historic centre
One of Spain's biggest tourism draws, alongside a large public sector and an aerospace and engineering cluster. Documentation practices differ by employer.
Universidad de Sevilla
Illness affecting exams or coursework is generally handled through a formal faculty process, with its own evidence requirements.
Club and school sport
Sports clubs across Seville commonly ask for medical clearance before participation, particularly for organised and contact sport. The club or federation sets the requirement.
Seasonal and hospitality work
Much of the tourism sector runs on the statutory minimum with no company scheme layered over it. The certificate requirement is the same; the internal process is usually simpler.
All Certificate Types Available in Spain
Every certificate type is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Spain. Choose the one that matches your situation, and see the legal snapshot above if what you actually need is the formal parte de baja for a longer absence.
Sick Leave Certificate
For short absences generally manageable in many cases without a formal parte de baja (typically up to 3 days), or as supporting documentation for an employer that accepts it. This is not the formal Seguridad Social parte de baja for statutory sick pay beyond 3 days; that document must come from a doctor within the public system or an authorised equivalent, and no online certificate service can substitute for it.
From €34.99Sports Fitness Certificate
For Spanish federación-affiliated clubs, competitions, gradings, and school or amateur leagues that request medical clearance before a competitive participant can take part. Confirms there is no medical reason identified that should prevent participation in the sport described.
From €34.99General Fitness Certificate
For gym membership, personal training sign-up, or a fitness programme in Spain where a health declaration or medical clearance is requested by the club or trainer before you start.
From €34.99General Medical Certificate
For insurance claims, visa applications, legal proceedings, and education-related documentation in Spain (for example a university mitigating-circumstances request). A separate, valid document type, distinct from the formal Seguridad Social parte de baja.
From €34.99How It Works in Seville
Complete assessment
3-5 minutes. Select your certificate type, confirm Spain as your country, and answer relevant health questions in detail so the reviewing doctor has what they need to make a genuine clinical judgment. No payment is taken at this stage.
A doctor registered to assess Spain cases reviews
Your answers are reviewed against Spanish requirements during business hours, Monday-Friday. The doctor may come back to you for more information before deciding, and will only proceed with a certificate if it is clinically appropriate to do so.
Receive your PDF
Once approved, your certificate is emailed the same day for most requests, showing the reviewing doctor's credentials and a verification reference that lets the recipient confirm the document is genuine.
Who Asks for a Medical Certificate in Seville
Seville employers
Useful as general medical documentation for an absence or a workplace request. Acceptance depends on what your employer is actually asking for, and for statutory sick leave beyond a few days in Spain a parte de baja from the public health system applies — see the national rules above for the full picture.
Universidad de Sevilla and colleges
Commonly used as supporting documentation in a mitigating or extenuating circumstances application. Each institution sets its own evidence requirements, so check the specific wording your faculty uses.
Clubs and gyms
Sports clubs and gyms in Seville frequently ask for medical clearance before participation, particularly for organised or contact sport. Gyms may ask for a health declaration at sign-up.
Airlines from Seville Airport
Fit-to-fly certificates for travel after surgery, illness or during later pregnancy. Requirements differ by airline and by how recent the procedure is, so confirm with the airline directly as well.

€40-70 is a typical range reported for a private, in-person doctor consultation in Spain and varies by clinic, location, and consultation type. It doesn't include the time cost of travelling to and from an appointment, or the wait for a slot to become available, both of which our online review is designed to remove without cutting corners on the actual clinical assessment.
Spain Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Seville
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Seville exactly as it does anywhere else in Spain.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Spain online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. In Spain, short absences of up to 3 days can generally be self-managed in many cases without a formal parte de baja. From more than 3 days, a parte de baja (the formal sick leave certificate tied to Spain's statutory sick-pay system) is generally required, and by law it can only be issued by a doctor within the public health system (Seguridad Social) or an authorised equivalent; it is not something any private online service, including ours, can issue. For purposes that sit outside the public sick-pay system, such as insurance, visa, legal, or education needs, a private doctor's general medical certificate is a separate, valid document type. See the full list of certificate types below. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Spain, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Parte de baja, literally "leave form," commonly translated as "sick leave certificate." |
|---|---|
| Short-absence threshold | Up to 3 days can generally be self-managed without a formal parte de baja in many cases |
| When a parte de baja is generally required | From more than 3 days of absence |
| Who can legally issue it | A doctor within Spain's public health system (Seguridad Social) or an authorised equivalent; this is a public-system function only |
| Related status | Incapacidad temporal (temporary incapacity for work): the formal status linked to an issued parte de baja |
| Governing framework | Real Decreto 625/2014, as amended by Real Decreto 1060/2022 (in force since April 2023, which removed the requirement for employees to personally hand paper copies to their employer), together with Spain's Seguridad Social / INSS (Instituto Nacional de la Seguridad Social) system |
| Data protection law | RGPD: the Spanish name for the EU General Data Protection Regulation itself, which applies directly in Spain |
Important: what we can and cannot issue in Spain: We cannot issue the formal parte de baja for absences of more than 3 days, because Spanish law reserves that document to doctors within the public Seguridad Social system or an authorised equivalent. What we do provide is a general medical certificate (a separate, valid document used for insurance, visa, legal, education, and similar purposes) and a sick leave certificate suited to shorter absences that can generally be self-managed. If your situation requires the formal parte de baja for statutory sick pay beyond 3 days, that has to come from the public system.
Our Medical Team for Spain
Every Spain certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Spain. A clinician will only issue a certificate after genuinely assessing your case and if it is clinically appropriate to do so. If it isn't, you receive a full refund rather than a certificate you can't rely on. We do not name individual clinicians on this page because the specific doctor assigned to review your case depends on availability and certificate type at the time you submit your assessment; your certificate itself shows the reviewing doctor's name and credentials once issued, so the recipient can see exactly who assessed your case. No certificate is generated automatically or without a doctor's genuine review, whatever the certificate type.
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 Seville.

No. The assessment is completed online by a doctor registered to assess cases in Spain, so where you are in the country makes no difference to the process or the price. This page exists because people search for their own city.
It depends on the length of the absence. Short absences of up to three days can often be self-managed without a formal parte de baja, and our certificate can support that kind of short, informal documentation. For longer statutory sick leave in Spain, a parte de baja can by law only be issued through the public health system (Seguridad Social) or an authorised equivalent — it is not something we or any private online service can issue. See the national rules section above for the full picture.
Our certificate is €34.99 flat, including the doctor's review, the PDF and its verification reference. A private consultation in Spain commonly falls in the €50-€120 range depending on the clinic and how quickly you need to be seen. It is not a substitute for care — if you need to be examined or treated, see a doctor in person.
The certificate requirement itself does not depend on the industry. Eligibility for particular schemes can depend on things like contract type and length of service, and those are exactly the kind of detail worth confirming directly with your employer or the Seguridad Social rather than assuming.
Usually within a few hours of the doctor approving your case during business hours. Some cases take longer where the doctor needs more information before deciding.
You can submit at any hour; what varies is when the doctor reviews it. Shift-based sites like the Seville assembly plants typically require notification within a set window of your shift start, and the notification is a separate obligation from producing a document later — so make the call or send the message your procedure requires first, then submit here. Cases lodged inside business hours are the ones most likely to be decided the same day. If the plant’s own occupational health service is involved in clearing you back onto a line, its assessment is the one that governs that decision.
Usually not, and it is worth getting this right. A stoppage under an AEMET orange or red heat alert is a preventive health-and-safety measure taken by the employer under the 2023 rules, with a right to paid leave of up to four days where extreme weather prevents the work being reached or done safely. That is administered as a workplace and safety matter, not as sick leave, and a certificate does not trigger it. Where a certificate is relevant is if you have actually become unwell — heat illness, or an existing condition aggravated by the conditions — in which case Sick Leave documentation of that episode is the right request, and genuine heat illness needs assessing in person.
It can serve as supporting documentation, but the faculty’s own rules decide. Resit and extraordinary-sitting requests generally run to a published procedure with a submission deadline, a named office and a specific list of acceptable evidence, and those lists differ between faculties of the same university. Some accept general medical documentation of the illness; some require evidence from the health service you attended; some want their own form completed. Read that procedure first, then tell us what it asks for so the certificate wording can be matched to it rather than left generic.
General Fitness is one of the six types and covers a statement of fitness to take part in an activity following a medical assessment, which is what many organisers are after. The requirement is set by the organiser, though, and schools and activity providers in Seville frequently have their own form or their own specific wording — a standalone certificate sometimes sits alongside that form rather than replacing it. Ask for the requirement in writing before ordering. Where an activity carries real physical risk, expect the organiser to want more than a remote assessment can responsibly give.
Spanish workplaces often expect a sello and a colegiado number because that is what a document from a local practice looks like. Our certificates arrive as a PDF carrying the issuing doctor’s details and a verification reference, which is designed to be checked at source rather than taken on trust — often stronger evidence than an ink stamp, which is trivial to fake. Not every office sees it that way. If yours is insisting on a physical stamp, ask them in writing what they require, and if they will only accept a wet-stamped document from a local practice, that is a route we cannot substitute for.
