Pricing is flat at €34.99 for any of the six certificate types, sent as a PDF. It records what the doctor assessed, for use with an employer, school, club or insurer in Sweden. It is not the läkarintyg that Försäkringskassan requires from day 15.

Getting a Läkarintyg in Stockholm
Stockholm is Sweden's capital and, by a wide margin, its largest employer base: finance and professional services in the city centre, a dense technology and startup scene, a large public-sector and government presence, and a gaming industry that has grown into one of the city's better-known exports. That mix means sickness-absence practice varies a lot from one Stockholm workplace to the next, even though the statutory rules underneath — the sjukanmälan, the sjuklön period, the point at which a läkarintyg is needed — are the same everywhere in the country.
The city is also home to some of Sweden's leading universities, including Stockholm University and KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Illness affecting studies, exams or coursework is generally handled through each institution's own procedures, which set their own evidence requirements rather than following a national standard.
There's no clinic to visit in Stockholm — the entire assessment happens online, reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Sweden, wherever in the country you actually are. Being Sweden's capital doesn't change that: this is a nationwide service, not a Stockholm one with a page bolted on for the city.
Stockholm County's hospital capacity is concentrated at Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, which runs sites at Solna and Huddinge following their 2004 merger, employs somewhere in the region of 15,000 to 16,000 people and holds around 1,340 beds — second in size only to Sahlgrenska in Gothenburg. Region Stockholm also operates närakuter and specialistakuter for people who need immediate care for an injury or illness but not a full emergency department, alongside six adult and three paediatric emergency departments in the county. For a routine sickness absence none of those is the right door and your own primary care unit is: regions report same-day contact and the three-day medical assessment target to the national waiting-times database every month, and you can look your own unit up at vantetider.se. Health care is also one of Stockholm's largest shift-working employers in its own right, which is why absence documentation here is as often a hospital or care-sector question as an office one.
Timing matters more than most Stockholm employers explain. The employer pays sjuklön for the first day your work capacity is reduced plus the following thirteen calendar days, a karensavdrag of 20 per cent of the sjuklön you would have received in an average working week is deducted at the start, and the certificate your employer asks for from day eight covers that sjuklön period only — SKR's employer form for those first two weeks is the one labelled AG 1-14. If the absence runs past day 14 you apply to Försäkringskassan for sjukpenning from day 15, and that stage uses a different certificate, the day-15 version known as AG 7804, issued by the healthcare provider treating you. Our certificate is supporting documentation for the employer stage; it is not that day-15 form, and we will say so rather than let you find out at the worst moment. The day-eight requirement was temporarily pushed back during the pandemic, so a lot of advice still circulating online is out of date — day eight is the position now.
Finance, tech and gaming side by side
Stockholm's employer base spans banking and professional services, a dense startup and technology scene, national government functions and a well-known gaming industry. Internal sick-leave procedures differ between them; the statutory sjuklön and läkarintyg rules underneath do not.
Stockholm University and KTH
Illness affecting studies is generally handled through each institution's own process, with its own evidence requirements. Check what your department or programme actually asks for before requesting documentation.
The 7-day sjukanmälan window
You can generally report sick directly to your employer for the first seven calendar days without a certificate. A läkarintyg is generally required from day eight of a continuous absence — the same rule wherever in Sweden you are employed.
A capital-sized workforce, one national process
Being Sweden's largest city does not change the underlying rules or the price. This page exists because people search for their own city, not because Stockholm works differently.

Who Asks for a Läkarintyg in Stockholm
Stockholm employers
A certificate from a doctor registered to assess cases in Sweden meets the läkarintyg requirement that generally applies from day eight of a continuous sickness absence. Some employers agree a förstadagsintyg with individual staff, requiring a certificate from an earlier day — that is set by specific agreement, not a default, so check your own arrangement.
Universities and colleges
Commonly requested as supporting documentation where illness has affected exams, coursework or a placement. Each institution sets its own evidence requirements, so check what your department actually asks for.
Clubs and gyms
Sports clubs and gyms across Stockholm may ask for a general fitness or sports fitness certificate before participation, particularly for organised or contact sport. Requirements are set by the club, not nationally.
Insurers and public bodies
General medical certificates are sometimes requested for insurance claims or matters involving Försäkringskassan. What these generally want to see is that a genuine medical assessment took place.

Private consultation costs are typical ranges reported for a doctor visit through a vårdcentral (health centre) or private clinic in Sweden, and vary by region, provider, and the type of assessment needed.
Every price above covers the full service: the doctor's genuine review of your case, the PDF certificate itself with its verification reference, and same-day email delivery once approved. There are no separate booking fees or add-on charges for standard processing, and if the doctor reviewing your case cannot issue a certificate, you're refunded in full rather than charged for an incomplete outcome.
Sweden Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Stockholm
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Stockholm exactly as it does anywhere else in Sweden.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Sweden online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. In Sweden, employees can generally report sick directly to their employer via a sjukanmälan for the first 7 calendar days without needing any medical certificate. A läkarintyg (doctor's certificate) is generally required from day 8 of a continuous sickness absence, although some employers agree a "förstadagsintyg" with staff, which requires a certificate from an earlier day by specific agreement. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes (visa, insurance, education), a separate certificate type applies: see the full list below. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Sweden, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | Läkarintyg: Swedish for "medical certificate," sometimes referred to as a doctor's certificate. |
|---|---|
| Self-reporting period | First 7 calendar days of a sickness absence, reported directly to your employer as a sjukanmälan, with no certificate generally required |
| When a certificate is required | Generally from day 8 of continuous sickness absence, though some employers may require a förstadagsintyg from an earlier day under a specific agreement |
| Who pays during the absence | Your employer generally pays sjuklön (sick pay) for days 1-14 of an absence, after a qualifying deduction on day 1 |
| From day 15 onward | Försäkringskassan (the Swedish Social Insurance Agency) generally takes over responsibility for sickness benefit |
| Data protection law | GDPR as implemented in Sweden |
Note on förstadagsintyg agreements: Some Swedish employers, particularly after repeated short-term sick leave, agree a förstadagsintyg with an employee, requiring a läkarintyg from an earlier day than the standard 8th, in some cases from day 1. This is set by specific agreement with your employer or under a kollektivavtal (collective agreement), not by a universal rule, so check your own employment terms for what applies to you.
Our Sweden Medical Team
Every Sweden certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Sweden. Doctor credentials are shown on your certificate alongside a verification reference, so an employer, school, club, or airline can confirm it is genuine. A clinician will only issue a certificate after assessing your case and if it is clinically appropriate to do so; if not, you receive a full refund. We do not name a specific local physician on this page; the doctor assigned to review your case depends on your certificate type and when you submit your assessment.
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 Stockholm.

Reg. #Läkarintyg in Stockholm: Common Questions
No. The assessment is completed online and reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Sweden, 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, not because the service works differently in Stockholm.
Generally not. You can usually report sick directly to your employer through a sjukanmälan for the first seven calendar days without needing a certificate. A läkarintyg is generally required from day eight of a continuous absence, unless your employer has separately agreed a förstadagsintyg with you requiring one earlier — that is an exception some employers arrange, not the default.
Our certificate is a flat €34.99, covering the doctor's review, the PDF and its verification reference. A private doctor visit in Sweden commonly falls in the roughly €50-€120 range depending on the clinic. It is not a substitute for care, though — if you need to be examined or treated, see a doctor in person.
Yes. If your employer has agreed a förstadagsintyg requiring documentation from an earlier day, potentially day one, we can assess your case against that request. Tell us what your employer has asked for so the certificate matches it.
Same day, usually within 30 minutes of the doctor approving your case during business hours. Some cases take longer where the doctor needs more information from you before deciding.
All six types are the same price in Sweden: Sick Leave, Sports Fitness, General Fitness, Fit to Fly, Return to Work and General Medical are each €34.99. This market is priced in euro, so that is the figure you pay rather than a kronor equivalent we have converted for you. The fee covers the doctor reviewing your case and the issued PDF with its verification reference. It buys a genuine review, not a guaranteed outcome — the doctor can decide a certificate is not appropriate on what you have described.
Every issued certificate carries the details of the doctor who reviewed the case and a verification reference, which is what an HR team should be checking against rather than a logo. A Swedish employer is entitled to require that an absence be substantiated by a certificate from a doctor, and it is reasonable for them to confirm the document is authentic. What they are not entitled to insist on is a diagnosis: the certificate for the sjuklön period has to set out how work capacity is affected, not name the illness. If your HR team has a specific verification process, tell us and we will tell you honestly whether our PDF fits it.
No, and the difference matters. A närakut in Stockholm County exists to examine and treat someone who needs care quickly for an injury or illness, with a doctor physically present; we assess remotely and issue documentation. If your symptoms need looking at, go there, to an emergency department or call 1177 — do not sit at home filling in a form instead. Use this when the medical picture is straightforward and the actual problem is producing paperwork for an employer, a club or an institution the same day.
Fit to Fly is one of the six types, at the same €34.99, and approved certificates are issued the same day, usually within about 30 minutes of the doctor approving the case during business hours. The catch is the airline, not us: carriers set their own requirements, some want their own form completed and some want a certificate dated within a specific window before departure. Send us whatever wording the airline has given you so the certificate is matched to their request. If you are unwell enough that flying is genuinely in question, the doctor may decline rather than clear you, which is the point of the assessment.
Yes, and this is where an online certificate stops being the right tool. The sjuklön period your employer pays covers the first 14 days; from day 15 you apply to Försäkringskassan for sjukpenning, and that application rests on a certificate issued by the healthcare provider treating you, using the day-15 form rather than the employer certificate for days one to fourteen. Our certificate is supporting documentation for a short absence with your employer, not that day-15 document. If you are heading past two weeks, get into care properly — book your vårdcentral and deal with the absence as an ongoing case.
