How do you get a doctor's note online? You fill out a short online form describing your symptoms, a US-licensed physician will review it, and, if appropriate, will issue a legitimate doctor's note delivered by email, usually the same day. In most covered states no in-person or video visit is required for these low-risk notes.

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:

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.

Our physicians issue straightforward absence and return-to-work notes only. We do not provide FMLA, disability, or fitness-for-duty clearance, and we never diagnose 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.

Why people get a doctor’s note online

When you’re genuinely unwell, the last thing you want is to drag yourself to a clinic just to collect a piece of paper, or to pay for a full video visit when all you need is documentation. For everyday, short-term illnesses, an online review by a doctor licensed in your state is a faster, legitimate way to get the note your employer or school asks for, so you can stay home and recover. It is a real medical document, not a template you fill in yourself.

Pricing

One flat fee per note, money-back if a doctor can’t help. Launching soon — start your note and reserve your spot.

Frequently asked questions

Is a doctor's note you get online legal?
Yes, a note from a physician licensed in your state, issued after a genuine review of your case, is a legitimate medical document. More on the law →
Will my employer or school accept it?
Employer policies vary, but the note will be a legitimate medical note signed by a licensed physician, with a code you can share so it can be verified with your permission, just like a note from an in-person visit. How verification works →
Do I need a video appointment?
No, in covered states, a written review by the physician is sufficient for these low-risk notes, so there is no call to schedule or sit through.
How fast will I get the note?
Same day during covered hours. Requests that arrive overnight are reviewed the next morning. We never promise a guaranteed turnaround time.
What if the doctor decides I don't need a note?
You get a full refund. The reviewing physician keeps a genuine right to decline if a note isn't appropriate; that is what keeps every note legitimate.
Which states do you cover?
We're launching soon in TX, PA, IL, OH, MI, WA, AZ, TN, and IN: see the full list.
Can I get a note for any reason?
For everyday, low-risk needs, such as a work or school absence, a date of return, or an event, gym, or travel cancellation. We don't handle FMLA, disability, court documents, or fitness-for-duty clearance.
Is my information private?
Yes, your information is encrypted in transit and at rest, handled in line with HIPAA, and never sold.
