Frequently asked questions

Should I choose the US or Canada service?

In general, choose the country where your employer or school is located, because that is where the note will be submitted. If you are unsure, check the service page for that country before you apply.

What is a doctor’s note for?

A doctor’s note is a short document that explains an absence from work or school for health reasons. It is different from a longer, purpose-specific medical certificate, such as one for an insurance claim or a flight refund.

Do I need to visit a clinic in person?

No. The assessment is completed online. A licensed physician reviews it, so there is no waiting room visit for this service.

What dates should I request?

Request only the dates you actually need covered, and check whether your employer or school has its own form or deadline. If the dates change, tell us before the note is issued.

What if I need a different kind of proof?

If you need proof for an insurer, an airline, a landlord, or another specific recipient, look at Medical Certificates instead. Those documents are written for a particular purpose.
