An online medical certificate is an official document issued by a registered doctor after an assessment. It confirms that you may be unfit for work, study, or usual responsibilities for a specific period.

A typical online medical certificate may include:

The approved time period during which you are unable to attend work or study
Whether it is a single day or multi-day certificate
General guidance, such as light duties, if appropriate
Privacy protection without unnecessary medical details
