Can a Medical Certificate be backdated?
Generally speaking, no. A medical Certificate or a doctor’s note cannot be backdated.
In some cases, it is obvious to the doctor that the patient suffered from a medical condition for some time before the consultation.
It is important to make an appointment with your doctor as early as possible if you contemplate to ask for a Medical Certificate.
