When is a certified translation of a medical certificate needed?

A medical certificate may be required in many situations:

• For submission to the employer. In case of sick leave, a doctor’s certificate is required to provide the employer with proof of the employee’s own state of health.
• To be presented to the school or university to certify one’s inability to take exams if an exam or test is missed due to illness.
• For submission to the travel cancellation insurance company to prove that a trip could not be taken for health reasons.

What is a medical certificate?

A medical certificate is issued by a physician (e.g., a family doctor or a specialist). It confirms the presence of a specific disease or health condition. A wide variety of laws and regulations apply to its issuance, such as the Work Incapacity Directive. The Bavarian Medical Association provides further information on medical duties on its website.
