Frequently asked questions
Get your medical certificate online with ease — created, reviewed, and signed by a GMC registered UK doctor.
Who issues the certificates?
Every certificate is reviewed and signed by a GMC registered UK doctor after an online text consultation. The doctor's name and GMC number appear on the certificate.
How long does it take?
Standard requests are completed within one business day; Priority requests are typically completed within 24 hours, often much sooner.
What if the doctor can't issue my certificate?
If our doctor decides a certificate isn't appropriate — for example because your condition needs an in-person review — you receive a full automatic refund and advice on where to seek care.
How far back can my certificate start?
Certificates start from today onwards and can cover a period of up to two weeks.
Is my information secure?
Yes. Your consultation, documents, and ID are stored encrypted in the UK/EU, are only visible to the doctor handling your case, and are never shared without your consent.
Can my employer verify the certificate?
Every certificate carries a unique reference number that we can verify — ask your employer to contact us with the reference.
