Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the online medical certificate valid?

Yes, the online medical certificate is valid as long as it is issued by a certified doctor and fulfils all the legal requirements in Portugal. It can be used to justify absences from work, school or other situations where it is required.

The process is simple and efficient. The user fills in a form with their information and a description of their symptoms. They will then be contacted by a doctor who will carry out an online assessment. If deemed necessary, the certificate will be issued and sent digitally.

It depends on the medical assessment. In simpler cases, additional documentation may not be necessary. However, in specific situations, the doctor may request the presentation of tests or medical reports previously carried out.

The deadline for issuing the certificate may vary depending on the doctor's availability, but in most cases the certificate is sent on the same day as the consultation, after the appropriate assessment.

If the doctor, after an assessment, concludes that there are no clinical grounds for issuing the certificate, the service will be terminated without issuing the document. The user will have the opportunity to clarify any doubts during the consultation.

Yes, all CITs are communicated by our doctors to social security and a copy will be sent to your email address.

This service is mainly intended for simple and temporary health conditions. In the case of serious conditions or those that require a face-to-face assessment, the doctor may recommend that the user use a face-to-face health service.

Refund conditions depend on the platform's operating policy. We recommend that you read the terms and conditions carefully before making a payment.
