Can you get a doctor's note for work online? Yes. A US-licensed physician can review your symptoms through a short online form and, if appropriate, issue a legitimate doctor's note for work the same day, with 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:

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.

We 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 for work online

When you’re genuinely unwell, the hardest part is often the errand of proving it: calling around for a same-day appointment, sitting in a waiting room, or paying for an expensive video visit just to get a piece of paper. For everyday, short-term illnesses, an online review by a doctor licensed in your state is a faster, legitimate path to the documentation your employer asks for, so you can focus on resting and recovering.

Pricing

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