How can an employer verify a Doccio medical certificate?
How the unique verification ID on every Doccio medical certificate lets employers confirm it without personal details.
By Doccio Clinical Team · Sources reviewed October 2026
Every Doccio certificate carries a unique verification ID. An employer enters it on Doccio's free verification page to confirm the certificate is genuine and see the dates covered. Your condition is never shown, and no phone calls or personal health details are needed.
What the employer sees
Only what they need to confirm: that the certificate is genuine, the issuing doctor's details and the dates. The diagnosis is never written on the certificate.
What employers can ask for
Under the Fair Work Act an employer can ask for reasonable evidence of sick or carer's leave. See are online medical certificates valid?.
