doctor's certificate
Physician's written excuse
A doctor's certificate is an official document from a physician confirming a patient's illness, injury, or medical condition.
Employers and schools often require one to verify absences: HR won't approve sick leave without a doctor's certificate.
The certificate typically states dates of incapacity without disclosing specific diagnoses.
