Doctor’s letter – request for medical information
When we are asked to give medical information about you in the form of a report, letter or certificate, the request kick starts a series of processes.
This takes time and is not always straightforward or simple to complete. Some of the information is not available easily and will mean the doctor has to sort and select the right information for the request.
The doctor also must establish who is funding this work and if it is not part of their NHS work, agree a fee for this.
You can request the following from the practice by completing an online form.

How long it takes
It can sometimes take a few weeks to have a GP sign a document for you.
Not all documents need a signature by a GP, for example passport applications. You can ask another person in a position of trust to sign some documents free of charge.
To check if someone else can sign for you, read government advice on certifying document.
