The process of getting an online medical certificate for a minor illness is simple:

There will be a minor illness form containing some medical questions to fill out, it shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes.

Once submitted, it will be reviewed by an Irish registered doctor, who will contact you if they need any additional information.

Once their assessment is complete, you will be sent a sick certificate for your minor illness via email or post.
It’s as easy as that.
