Get Self Certification Form

A fit note must be signed by a doctor, but you do not always need to see a GP in person to get one.

Each state is different, but the best way to self-certify is to physically take the new medical card to the DMV, they will update the record and it will show on the driver's Motor Vehicle Record (MVR).

Instead you must be allowed to 'self-certify' that is, you complete a form provided by your employer stating when you were off sick, and the nature of your illness. After the first seven days, you will need to provide certificates from your GP to cover the whole of your absence in order to be paid SSP.

Many employers have their own self-certification forms. If your employer doesn't have its own form you can download this Self Certification Form (PDF). Please print it, fill it in and hand it in to your employer. You do not need to see a Doctor.

All Commercial Driver's License (CDL) holders are required (under federal regulation) to inform the RMV of the type of commerce they plan to operate within (interstate or intrastate) and whether or not they are required to hold a medical certificate. This notification is called self-certification.

If you are off work for less than seven days, you are responsible for your own self-certification on form SC1 (available from reception or any post office).
