02

Doctor reviews your evidence

A GMC-registered doctor reviews your submission individually.

✔ Full refund if a certificate cannot be issued.

03

Certificate security

Every MedicalCert certificate can be checked as genuine

Each certificate is issued with anti-tampering protection and its own verification reference. If your employer, university, airline or insurer wants to confirm the document came from a GMC-registered doctor, they can check it against MedicalCert records. Altered or copied documents do not pass that check.

Very happy, I ordered my Medical Certificate in the early morning hours and before noon time of same day I had it on my inbox. Speedy service and they present the health condition precisely, get to the point.

Georgia K. · 2 months ago

They meet the incredibly fast turnaround stated (certificate/letter sent before 9am the following morning if the doctor feels that a letter/certificate is appropriate) which is incredibly quick and I am really grateful for the help provided!

Mark K. · 2 months ago

Very easy and quick to get my certificate. And the certificate was approved from the specific company to travel with my dog. I will use them again. Well done.

Emanouela M. · 2 months ago

Second time using this company and they are fabulous! Always great, fast, friendly service. Highly recommend!

Gemma H. · 3 months ago

This was my second time using Medical Cert, and once again the service was exceptionally quick and professional. Everything was handled efficiently, with clear communication throughout.

Hayley G. · 3 months ago

I found the service very straight forward and quick. Exactly what I needed to get my Padi medical form signed before our holiday. Thank you very much.

Trianda O. · 3 months ago

Process was easy and responses were quick. I would recommend their service.

Cameron M. · 3 months ago

Fast efficient service for medical certificates. I used the not fit to fly service and was provided with a certificate the next day, the price is very reasonable and enabled a flight credit refund with my airline. Would recommend and would use again if needed.

Katharine H. · 7 months ago

A fast and efficient service. It wasn't complicated and the Fit-to-fly note was accepted by the Airport without any further questions. Thank you.

Mick W. · 6 months ago

Ideal for me, I am looking to get a certificate for some medical issues I have. So this is the perfect solution for me, uploading docs was easy and the forms very straightforward to fill in. Will definitely use them again. Many thanks.

Nicholas O. · 7 months ago

Excellent service. Easy to use and certificate issued in less than 24 hours. £39 as opposed to the £150 my GP charges. Highly recommended.

Joanna R. · 8 months ago

Quick and reasonably pain-free. Received their standard certificate as well as my requested bespoke certificate, by email, by 9am the following morning. Both completed properly, signed and stamped as required. More expensive than my GP, but infinitely quicker and easier.

Will R. · 7 months ago

One of the best experiences. It's easy to get a GP note.

Himanshu T. · 3 months ago

Excellent. My GP refuses to issue DWP MED 3 Fit Notes to students. MedicalCert were excellent and extremely helpful in providing a necessary certificate. Highly recommended.

Graham H. · 9 months ago

You were amazing, you kept me updated and replied promptly to any queries I had. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Great service, pretty straight forward and easy to use the website.

Alexandru P. · 6 months ago

I was recommended Medical Cert by a friend and was so impressed with the service received. I would recommend using a laptop rather than a phone. Overall a fantastic and fast service.

Clinical Governance

A real doctor. A real certificate.

Every sports medical certificate issued through MedicalCert is signed by a GMC-registered GP. Where an organiser accepts a doctor-signed certificate, that is the standard it has to meet. France and Italy now run their own separate systems, so confirm what your event asks for before you apply.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know

Usually, but confirm it first. MedicalCert sports medical certificates are signed by GMC-registered doctors and are accepted by many UK and European organisers, clubs, gyms and insurers that ask for a doctor-signed document. There are two significant exceptions. Running competitions in France take the FFA Pass Prévention Santé rather than a doctor-signed certificate, and Italian competitive events need a certificate issued in Italy by a specialist in sports medicine. Check the exact wording your organiser asks for before you apply.

It varies by country and by organiser, and the European rules have changed. France replaced the doctor’s certificate for unlicensed adults with the Pass Prévention Santé, an online health pass from the Fédération Française d’Athlétisme costing 5 euros and valid for 12 months, which is required for running competitions in France; French triathlons take the FFTri Formulaire Info Santé instead. Italy requires competitive athletes to be examined and certified in Italy by a specialist in sports medicine, so a UK certificate does not stand in for it. Elsewhere a doctor-signed certificate is still commonly asked for, typically by organisers, clubs and insurers covering skydiving, martial arts gradings, cycling sportives and open water swims. Always check your own event before you apply.

Most certificates are delivered same day. Applications submitted by 11pm are delivered by 9am the following morning. Once you submit your form, a GMC-registered doctor reviews your case and issues your signed certificate to your inbox as a PDF, ready to forward to your organiser. If the reviewing doctor needs more information from you first, they will contact you before issuing.

You will need to complete a short online health questionnaire covering your general fitness, any existing medical conditions, and the sport or event you are entering. A short selfie video confirming your identity is also required. No prior GP visit or medical records are needed, the doctor assesses your case based on the information you provide.

If a doctor cannot clinically justify issuing a sports medical certificate based on the information provided, you will receive a full refund. No questions asked. We only issue certificates where there is a genuine clinical basis for doing so, your safety as an athlete is our priority.
