To apply, you’ll need a ‘Certificate of Incapacity for Work’ from your GP. Your GP can electronically submit this certificate through a secure online system.
- Sometimes, one certificate can cover the duration of your illness, but if not, you’ll need to return for further review.
- You will also need to complete a separate application form (IB1), which you can collect from the surgery. Alternatively, if you have a MyGovID Account you can apply online here.
- If you are not claiming Illness Benefit and you require a sick certificate for your employer there is a fee of €20 payable in advance.
