Can a parent get a doctor's note for their child online?

Yes. Parents and legal guardians can submit a doctor's note request on behalf of their child entirely online. You complete the intake describing your child's symptoms, a board-certified physician reviews the case, and the note is delivered to your inbox — formatted specifically for school use.

Will my child's school accept this doctor's note?

Yes. SickSlip notes are signed by a board-certified, state-licensed physician and include a QR verification code that school administrators can scan to confirm authenticity instantly. And it comes with our acceptance guarantee: if their school will not accept the note, contact us and we refund you in full.

Do I need my child's regular pediatrician for a school absence note?

No. Our physicians are licensed in your state and can issue school absence documentation for your child based on the symptoms you describe. You do not need to schedule an appointment with your child's regular doctor.

How long does it take to get a doctor's note for school?

Standard delivery is same day. Priority processing moves your case to the front of the physician's queue for faster review when you need documentation quickly.

How much does an online doctor's note for school cost?

A flat $29.99 fee. No subscriptions, no hidden fees. Rush processing is an additional $8.

What childhood illnesses qualify for a doctor's note for school?

Common, short-term childhood illnesses like colds, flu, stomach bugs, ear infections, pink eye, strep throat, migraines, and more. We do not cover extended medical leaves, hospitalizations, or conditions requiring ongoing specialist care.

Is my child’s information private?

Yes. Your child's information is encrypted and stored securely. We never share medical information with the school or advertisers. The note shows dates, not a diagnosis.

What age children does SickSlip cover for school absence notes?

SickSlip can issue school absence notes for children of any school age — elementary through high school — when a parent or legal guardian submits the request.

Does a school doctor's note say what the child was sick with?

No. The note documents that the child was medically unable to attend school and the dates involved — it does not volunteer a diagnosis. Attendance offices need dates and a licensed physician's signature, not the child's private medical details.

Can a doctor's note for school cover days my child already missed?

The note is dated the day the physician issues it and lists the absence dates it documents. When the parent's report of the illness supports it, that can include days the child was already home sick — schools generally accept notes issued when a parent could reasonably act, not only same-day.

How do I get a doctor's note for my kid's school absence?

Complete an online intake for your child in about five minutes — symptoms, dates, and the school's name. A physician licensed in your state reviews the case the same day, and the signed note arrives by email ready to forward to the attendance office, with a QR verification code included.
