Can you get a doctor's note online? Yes. A physician licensed in your state can review your symptoms through a short online form and, if appropriate, issue a legitimate doctor's note the same day — no in-person or video visit required in most states. The note confirms you reported being unwell and were advised to rest.

How it works

  1. Tell us what’s going on

    Answer a short, adaptive 2-minute form about your symptoms — not a static tick-box questionnaire.

  2. A clinician licensed in your state will review it

    At launch, a licensed clinician will review your written answers, may ask a follow-up question, and can decline if a note isn’t appropriate.

  3. Get your note by email

    At launch, notes will arrive as a PDF with a verification code. Turnaround targets will be published before we open.

What you can get a note for

Everyday, short-term reasons you might need to be excused from work or school:

We focus on legitimate, low-risk notes. We don’t issue FMLA, disability, or fitness-for-duty paperwork, and we never diagnose, treat, or prescribe online.

Why CuroNote

Real licensed clinicians

Every note will be reviewed and signed by a clinician licensed in your state, and we'll always tell you exactly which states we cover.

Written review, not a waiting room

Our model is a written review of your answers. If the clinician needs more, they can ask questions or request a call, and we'll confirm each state's process before opening there.

Fair, flat pricing

One transparent price with no hidden fees, and money-back if a doctor decides they can’t help.

Private by design

HIPAA-aligned handling: your information is encrypted in transit and at rest, and never sold.

Verification & authenticity

Every note is watermarked and carries a unique verification code, so your employer can confirm it’s genuine with us at any time, free. Need a small correction to dates or a name? Modifications are free. That’s the opposite of a free template off the internet — which an employer can spot, and which can get you fired.

Frequently asked questions

Is an online doctor's note legal?
Yes — a note from a physician licensed in your state, issued after a genuine review, is a legitimate medical document. More on the law →
Will my employer accept it?
A note signed by a licensed clinician is a legitimate medical note, though each employer sets its own policy. Every note will carry a unique ID, and with your permission your employer can confirm it's genuine.
Do I need a video appointment?
Our model is a written review by a clinician licensed in your state. If a clinician needs more information, they can ask questions or request a call. We'll confirm the exact process for each state before we open there.
How fast will it be?
We're aiming for same-day review during covered hours. We'll publish firm turnaround times before launch.
What if the clinician decides I don't need a note?
You won't be charged. The clinician keeps a genuine right to decline, which is part of doing this legitimately.
Is my information private?
We collect only what's needed, encrypt it in transit, never sell it, and don't share health details with advertising or email tools. See our privacy policy for specifics.
