FAQ
Is the certificate accepted by all Dubai employers?
Yes. DHA-licensed doctors issue DHA-valid certificates that are accepted across the UAE. Employers can verify on the DHA Sheryan platform.
How much does a sick leave certificate cost in Dubai?
It's included in the price of a standard GP consultation — there's no separate fee for the certificate itself. See our Pricing page for current rates.
Can I get one without seeing a doctor?
No. A medical certificate must follow a proper clinical assessment — we won't issue one without consulting you first. That's what makes it valid.
What if I need more than a few days off?
If your condition warrants it, the doctor can extend the certificate or refer you to a specialist. We never overstate or understate what's clinically appropriate.
Sick leave certificates — your questions
Can I get a sick leave certificate in Dubai the same day?+
Yes. Book a same-day appointment at our Business Bay clinic, request a home visit or a video consultation. If clinically appropriate, your DHA-valid certificate is issued the same day.
Is the certificate DHA-valid and accepted by employers?+
Yes. Our sick leave certificates are issued by DHA-licensed family medicine consultants and are accepted by employers across Dubai. They are logged on the DHA Sheryan system for verification.
Do I need to attend in person?+
Most short illnesses (flu, sore throat, gastroenteritis, migraine) can be assessed via video consultation. More complex symptoms require an in-person or home visit so the doctor can examine you properly.
How many days can a sick leave certificate cover?+
A GP can issue a certificate for the duration that is clinically justified — typically 1 to 5 days for common illness. Longer periods may require specialist input or review.
