If it's appropriate, the doctor issues it and you receive it online.
Some straightforward requests are reviewed in about 40 minutes, depending on your details.
Puducherry Government Staff and Teachers
Yanam's offices, schools and hospital are run by the Puducherry government. Staff follow their department's leave rules, which may need a government medical officer's certificate. Ask your office first.
Aquaculture Workers
Workers on the prawn and fish ponds feed, net and harvest in brackish water and hot sun. Skin infections, cuts and heat exhaustion are common. If a pond owner wants proof you were unwell, you can apply online.
Fishing Families
Fishing families work the Godavari estuary and the sea beyond, often before dawn. Chest infections and injuries are common. If a boat owner or co-op wants proof, you can apply.
Gas and Oil Project Contract Work
Contract workers on the gas and oil projects in the delta work shifts with strict safety rules. Workers covered by ESI need an ESI doctor's certificate for sickness benefit. Some project jobs need an in-person medical before joining.
Fitness Certificates
Some employers and colleges ask for proof you're fit. The doctor checks your medical history and may call.
A Pond Worker's Request
A worker on a prawn farm near Yanam gets a skin infection on his legs that turns into a fever in August. After treatment at a clinic, the farm owner wants a certificate for five days. He applies with the clinic slip. The doctor reviews it and issues a certificate for the days the illness explains.

Families Taking Patients to Kakinada

When a Certificate Can't Be Given
The doctor won't sign a certificate your details don't support, and will explain why. If you're getting worse, see a doctor in person.

Coming Home to Care for a Parent

Recovering After Surgery
If you've had surgery and need a certificate covering your recovery at home, upload your discharge summary and the doctor will review it.
Long-Term Conditions
Living with diabetes, high blood pressure or another long-term condition? If your employer wants a certificate about it, send your recent reports and medicines.
