About this certificate
Fit-to-work certificate
As confirmation that you are fit to carry out your role, or that you have recovered from a sickness or health condition that has affected your ability to work, your employer may require a fit-to-work certificate to support your safe return to the workplace.
Our doctors can provide you with a same-day medical certificate that will confirm that you are fit to work. If returning after an illness or health condition, the certificate will also confirm whether you are fully or partially recovered, with recommendations for your safe or gradual return where applicable. No appointment is needed – simply apply online.
What will I receive?
You will receive a verifiable digital PDF letter signed by a medical professional and sent directly to your mobile, containing the following details:
- Your name, date of birth and workplace.
- A statement confirming that you are fit to work.
- Signature and authorisation by one of our GMC-registered UK doctors.
- Contact details of ZoomDoc Health with a QR code enabling a verification check.

Important – our fit-to-work certificate
Our innovative online service to provide fit-to-work certificates can only be provided for workplace roles that are deemed low risk. A role with increased potential dangers will require a face-to-face assessment with a medical practitioner to check your heart, lungs and blood pressure, and to arrange eye and visual checks.
Some of the roles for which we cannot provide fit-to-work notes include:
- Any driving roles
- Motorsports drivers
- HGV and bus drivers
- Taxi drivers, forklift drivers and ambulance drivers
- Crane operators
- Working at heights and scaffolding
- Nursing or midwifery applications

Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Get a Fit to Work Certificate?
You can get a same-day fit for work medical certificate from ZoomDoc with no appointment required.
Fit-to-work certificates allow you to return to work after a period of illness, particularly when you have been signed off work by a doctor or healthcare professional. ZoomDoc provides the fastest way to obtain fit-to-work certificates without the need to wait for an in person appointment with your doctor or GP, which is a particularly important service if your permitted paid-sick days are about to run out, allowing you to return to work quicker than waiting for a traditional appointment.
Can I Self Certify as Fit to Work?
If you have been off sick for up to 7 days then you can simply inform your employer that you are fit to work again. This method does not require confirmation or medical evidence from a doctor, and is usually the most appropriate method of returning to work from a brief period of illness. This 7 day period includes every calendar day, and not just the days you would normally work.
If you have been off work for more than 7 days then your employer will likely request a fit note or statement of fitness from your doctor or other medical professional.
