Background information

You may need a medical certificate for a driving licence, a pilot’s licence, certain insurance policies or a new job. A health certificate is issued by a doctor after carrying out a health check. In the certificate, your state of health is examined from the perspective of the purpose for which the certificate is applied for.

Medical certificates are issued by occupational health care services, the health and social services centre or private doctors.

Every person has the right to a certificate detailing their state of health, when this is necessary, for example, for their treatment, livelihood or studying.
