THE MEDICAL CERTIFICATE

The certificate must indicate (in addition to personal data, the tax code) and the health card) the exact nature of the disabling diseases and their diagnosis.

The certificate is written in digital form by the doctor, who then sends it electronically to INPS using the appropriate function on the website;

After transmission of the certificate, the procedure allows the printing of a receipt containing the identification code of the activated procedure. The receipt is given by the doctor to the interested party together with a copy of the original medical certificate that the citizen will have to show at the time of the medical examination.

The introductory medical certificate is valid for 90 days for the purpose of presenting the application for civil invalidity.
