Short Answer
No, a medical certificate is not guaranteed. Doctors must assess whether you are medically unfit for work or study before issuing one.
Medical certificates are legally binding documents, and doctors must follow strict guidelines when issuing them.
Reasons a Certificate May Not Be Issued
🚫 If the doctor does not find medical evidence to support your request.
🚫 If you request a backdated certificate beyond what is allowed.
🚫 If your reason does not meet medical requirements for issuing a certificate.
💡 Tip: Be honest with your doctor about your symptoms so they can properly assess your condition.
