Medical certificate & health certificate

What is a medical certificate?

Things such as drivers’ licenses, diving certificates, foreign service, adoption and life insurance require a certificate that the person applying meets certain established health requirements. Various authorities may to a large extent also require a medical certificate, in order to use it as a basis for decisions.

Drivers’ licenses for higher qualifications, diving certificates, foreign service, adoption, life insurance, etc. may require a certificate that the person applying meets certain health requirements. A medical certificate is a written statement by a doctor that is made at someone’s request (usually the client / patient is a person who needs to prove something about their state of health). When it happens at someone else’s request, the consent of the customer / patient or support according to Swedish law is required. Exactly how a medical certificate is designed depends on the purpose, but it must always be impartial, stick to the truth and not omit important information.

Medical certificates must mainly be based on examinations and official documents from hospitals, other doctors and other health care personnel. They may not rely solely on telephone calls, stories from relatives or the like, even if that type of information may provide some background to the medical certificate.

The cost of a medical certificate depends on the extent of it. Usually at least one health examination is included, but there may also be costs for additional samples, X-ray examinations, vaccinations and other things that must be included before a certain medical certificate can be issued. The price simply depends on how complicated it is to compile the medical certificate.
