Consult on official LINEWhether same-day issuance is possible depends on symptoms
A medical certificate is a document where a doctor records medical judgments based on information obtained during a consultation. Therefore, it cannot be definitively stated that it will "always be issued on the same day." On the other hand, in many cases where the progression of symptoms is clear, it can be issued on the same day.
Diseases/situations where same-day issuance is likely
- Symptoms have continued for two weeks or more, and the progression is clear.
- The diagnostic name can be clearly assigned.
- The required content from the submitting party is simple (e.g., only the diagnosis and an estimated period of recuperation).
Cases where multiple visits are often necessary
- The cause of symptoms or the diagnosis is unclear.
- Differentiation from other diseases is required.
- The submitting party requires a detailed opinion or complex description.
