Getting a Medical Certificate in Trondheim
Trondheim is central Norway's largest city and one of the country's main centres for technology and research, anchored by NTNU (the Norwegian University of Science and Technology) and the research cluster that sits alongside it. Technology, engineering and research employers here tend to run a fairly formal HR process, and many will have agreed an extended egenmelding arrangement with staff under the IA framework on top of the statutory minimum.
NTNU alone accounts for a very large share of the city's population, and illness affecting exams, coursework or a placement is generally handled through the university's own process, with its own evidence requirements.
We don't have a clinic on a street in Trondheim for you to visit. The case is reviewed online by a doctor registered to assess cases in Norway, and that review works the same way whether you're in the city centre or out past Lade.
St. Olavs hospital had 11,699 employees in 2024 and is physically integrated with NTNU's medical faculty on the Øya campus, making it one of the largest workplaces in Trøndelag as well as a teaching hospital. For everyday sickness documentation the relevant service is still the fastlege, and Trondheim is one of the three big cities Helsedirektoratet named as having few or no available places on open fastlege lists as of 1 May 2025, with Midt-Norge showing relatively low access to free places generally. The knock-on effect shows up nationally: the share of people who waited one to two years or more for their preferred fastlege rose from 7 per cent in 2019 to 27 per cent in 2024. That is the gap an online assessment sits in, and it is a documentation gap rather than a treatment one.
Trondheim's population swings with the academic year. NTNU has around 43,500 registered students and about 85 per cent of them study in Trondheim, so tens of thousands of people arrive in August, leave in June, and cluster their illness around the December and May exam periods. Many of those students also work part-time in hospitality and retail, where a shift has to be covered at short notice, and a good number are still registered with a fastlege in a completely different municipality. Central Norwegian winters add a practical layer on top: getting in from Moholt or Lade to an appointment on a January morning with a fever is a genuine obstacle rather than a preference.
NTNU and the research sector
Technology, engineering and research employers, many tied to NTNU, often run a formal HR process and may have an extended egenmelding agreement with staff under the IA framework.
A large student city
NTNU accounts for a big share of Trondheim's population. Illness affecting exams, coursework or a placement is handled through the university's own process.
Central Norway's winters
A short illness that makes getting across the city difficult in winter is a reasonable reason to use an online assessment rather than trying to get to an appointment.
Club and student sport
Sports clubs and student societies in Trondheim commonly ask for medical clearance for participation. Requirements are set locally, by the club or society.
All Certificate Types Available in Norway

From €34.99General Medical Certificate

From €34.99How It Works in Trondheim
Complete assessment
3-5 minutes. Select your certificate type, confirm Norway as your country, and answer relevant health questions honestly and in full; the doctor's assessment depends on the information you provide. No payment is taken at this stage, so there's no cost to you if the doctor later can't issue your certificate.
Doctor registered to assess Norway cases reviews
Your case is reviewed against Norwegian requirements, generally during business hours (9am-6pm CET/CEST, Monday-Friday). If something is unclear, the doctor may contact you for more information before deciding, which keeps the review genuine rather than a formality.
Receive your PDF
Once approved, your certificate is emailed the same day, usually within 30 minutes, with the reviewing doctor's credentials and a verification reference that employers, schools, clubs, or NAV can check independently, without needing to contact us directly.
Who Asks for a Medical Certificate in Trondheim
Trondheim employers
Once your egenmelding days for this absence are used up — up to 3 consecutive days, up to 4 times in a 12-month period under folketrygdloven, or more where an extended egenmelding period has been agreed with your employer — a sykmelding from a doctor registered to assess cases in Norway is generally what's needed to continue documenting the absence.
NTNU
Commonly requested as supporting documentation for illness affecting exams, coursework or a placement. The university sets its own evidence requirements.
Clubs and student societies
Sports clubs and student societies may ask for a medical clearance or health declaration before participation, particularly for contact sport.
NAV and insurers
A sykmelding is the document NAV and most insurers recognise for documenting sickness once egenmelding is exhausted. What matters to them is that a genuine medical assessment took place.

Norway Legal Snapshot: What Applies in Trondheim
Sick-leave and certificate rules are set nationally, so what follows applies in Trondheim exactly as it does anywhere else in Norway.
Yes — you can get a medical certificate (doctor's note) in Norway online, reviewed by a registered doctor and usually issued the same day, from €34.99. In Norway, employees generally have a legal right to egenmelding (self-certification) for sickness absence of up to 3 consecutive days, up to 4 times within a 12-month period, once they have been employed for at least 2 months. Many employers can also agree an extended self-certification period with staff, sometimes up to 8 consecutive days and up to 24 days within a 12-month period; this is often discussed under Norway's IA (Inkluderende Arbeidsliv, "inclusive working life") framework, which since 2019 applies nationwide rather than requiring an employer to sign an individual agreement with NAV. Once your egenmelding allowance for an absence is used up, a sykmelding (doctor's certificate) is generally required to continue documenting your sick leave. For sport, gym, travel, or general purposes (education, insurance claims, NAV documentation), a separate certificate type applies. See the full list below. In everyday English this is often just called a doctor's note for Norway, even where the official local term differs.
| Local document name | sykmelding (doctor's certificate), the term used once your egenmelding (self-certification) allowance for an absence has been used up. |
|---|---|
| Self-certification period (egenmelding) | Generally up to 3 consecutive days per absence, up to 4 times within a 12-month period, once you have been employed for at least 2 months |
| Extended self-certification | Many employers can agree a longer self-certification period with staff, sometimes up to 8 consecutive days and up to 24 days within a 12-month period, often discussed under Norway's nationwide IA framework; exact terms vary by employer and agreement |
| When a sykmelding is required | Once your egenmelding allowance for that absence is used up, a doctor's sykmelding is generally required to continue documented sick leave |
| Who can legally issue it | A doctor (lege): a sykmelding is, by definition, a doctor's certificate |
| Governing framework | Norway's National Insurance Act (folketrygdloven) provisions on sick pay (sykepenger), together with NAV (the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration) |
| Data protection law | GDPR, as applicable in Norway via the EEA agreement (Norway is a member of the European Economic Area, not the European Union) |
Note on egenmelding and extended self-certification: Exact self-certification allowances can depend on your employer's own policy and your collective agreement. The 3-day, 4-times, 12-month egenmelding framework is the general legal baseline. Since 2019, any employer, not only those historically registered as an individual "IA-virksomhet," can agree an extended self-certification allowance with employee representatives; this is not automatic and is set at the workplace level. Confirm your own entitlement with your employer or NAV before relying on it for a specific case.
Our Norway Medical Team
Every Norway certificate is reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Norway. Each certificate shows the reviewing doctor's credentials and includes a verification reference that can be checked independently. A clinician will only issue a certificate after genuinely assessing your case, and only if it is clinically appropriate to do so; if a doctor cannot issue your certificate, you receive a full refund automatically. This applies across every certificate type on this page, from sick leave and sykmelding documentation to sports fitness and fit-to-fly certificates: the same standard of genuine clinical review applies regardless of which certificate you need.
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 Trondheim.

Reg. #Medical Certificates in Trondheim: Common Questions
No. The assessment is completed online and reviewed by a doctor registered to assess cases in Norway, 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 Trondheim.
Our certificate is €34.99 flat, including the doctor's review, the PDF and its verification reference. A private doctor visit in Norway commonly falls in the €50-€120 range depending on the clinic and how quickly you need to be seen. A certificate isn't a substitute for care, though — if you need to be examined or treated, see a doctor in person.
It can support a request, but NTNU sets its own evidence requirements for illness affecting exams or coursework, and may ask for specific wording or its own form. Check what your department requires first, and tell us who the certificate is for.
Not necessarily. Egenmelding lets you self-certify sickness absence for up to 3 consecutive days, up to 4 times in a 12-month period, once you've been employed for 2 months — and some employers agree an extended egenmelding period with staff, sometimes up to 8 consecutive days and 24 days a year, under the IA framework. If you're still within whichever applies to you, you generally don't need a sykmelding yet. Once that allowance for this absence is used up, a sykmelding from a doctor is generally what's needed. What we issue is not a NAV-registered sykmelding: it documents a registered doctor's assessment for your employer, so check what NAV needs registered before relying on 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 before deciding.
Sports Fitness is one of the six types, at €34.99, and it is the right product where an event or club asks for confirmation that you are fit to take part. Organisers vary a lot in what they want — some accept a general statement of fitness, others have their own form or want specific wording about a named activity — so read their requirement before you start and say in your case which organiser is asking and what the activity involves. If the organiser demands a particular form completed by a doctor who has examined you in person, the doctor will say so rather than issue something the organiser will reject.
Generally not, and it is better to know that up front. NAV's position is that a sykmelding should not predate the consultation, with narrow exceptions where someone was genuinely prevented from seeking medical help, and those exceptions are applied strictly. Employers can and do query documentation that has been backdated when you had the chance to contact a doctor sooner. The practical conclusion: start your case on the first day you are unwell rather than waiting to see whether you recover, because the timing of the assessment is part of what makes the document hold up.
No — it is a flat €34.99 for everyone and for all six certificate types, with no student rate and no add-on fees. If you are an NTNU student and the certificate is for exam or coursework illness rather than for an employer, check what your faculty actually requires before you pay, because some departments want their own form or specific wording. For a part-time job alongside your studies it is the employer's absence process that matters, and that is a separate question from the university's.
It is a common assumption and it is not what the rules turn on. What matters is that a doctor made an individual assessment and is willing to put their name to the conclusion; the format of the consultation is not the test, which is also why the doctor here can decline a request. Where your manager may have a point is internal policy — an employer is free to ask for more than the statutory minimum, so the useful question is whether this is a legal objection or a company one. Ask them to show you the policy, and if it genuinely requires an in-person consultation, you know what you are working with.
It adds however long you take to reply, and that is usually the biggest variable in the whole process. Approved cases are typically issued within about half an hour of the doctor's decision during business hours, but a case waiting on your answer is not waiting on us. Keep an eye on your email and notifications after you submit, particularly if your deadline is the following morning. Answering a follow-up question properly is also what turns a borderline case into an issued certificate rather than a declined one.
