Fit to Work Certificate – Eligibility & When It’s Suitable

Our online fit-to-work certificate service is designed for individuals who are returning to work after a short-term illness and need medical confirmation that they’re fit to resume their duties.

You can book this service if you’ve recently recovered from conditions such as flu, mild respiratory infection, back pain, migraine, or other non-emergency illnesses. Your Irish-registered GP will review your symptoms, recovery progress, and current health to confirm that it’s safe for you to return to work.

This service is suitable for employees, contractors, and students requiring official documentation for employers or institutions. Certificates are reviewed and issued digitally after an online GP consultation or a short video assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get a Fit to Work Certificate online in Ireland?
You can easily request your fit-to-work certificate through our secure platform. Simply book an online GP consultation, discuss your recent illness or recovery with an Irish-registered doctor, and—if deemed medically appropriate—your certificate will be issued digitally, ready to share with your employer.
What information will my GP need before issuing a Fit to Work Certificate?
During your consultation, your GP will review your recovery, any symptoms that remain, and the nature of your work duties. You may be asked to provide details about your recent illness, sick leave duration, and whether you’ve received any treatment or follow-up care.
Can I get a Fit to Work Certificate if I haven’t seen a doctor recently?
Yes—if your GP determines that a remote assessment is sufficient and you’re fit to return to work. However, for conditions that require in-person examination or testing, you may be referred for further review before a certificate is issued.
Is my Fit to Work Certificate valid for all employers in Ireland?
Yes, all certificates issued through gpappointment.ie are completed by Irish Medical Council–registered doctors and are valid for submission to employers or HR departments across Ireland.
What if my GP decides I’m not ready to return to work?
If your doctor feels you are not yet medically fit, they may recommend extending your recovery period and guide you on next steps—such as follow-up consultations, lifestyle advice, or specialist referral—before issuing your certificate.
