Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 359 reviews, reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently mention that the platform provides a remarkably fast, convenient, and efficient way to handle medical certificates and essential prescriptions directly from home. Many people deeply appreciate avoiding long waiting times at clinics and stressful physical visits when they are already feeling unwell and need rest. Some reviewers were not happy with communication issues, noting that email inquiries regarding delayed documents or tracking numbers sometimes went completely unanswered for multiple days. A few other people also felt that waiting significantly longer than expected for urgent updates caused unnecessary frustration and anxiety during difficult moments.

It's one of those ironies in life. When you're unwell and least likely to want to go out in public, you have to do just that and go see a doctor to get a certificate to present to your employer. It... See more

I live in remote regional of WA

I live in remote regional of WA, getting an appointment with a gp next available consultation was tomorrow. I needed something for today, plus it costs me less to do it on here then at our local health centre which was $100.

My poor daughter is beside herself

My poor daughter is beside herself. Applied and paid for (plus recorded delivery) a medical certificate for her Spanish visa to which she has still not received. E-mailed them, can't get through on the phone, very poor service. She's supposed to be leaving in 2 weeks and can't get it it apostled until she gets the physical copy! Ref: 6617544554762330649

Avoid, scammers

EDIT after their response: to be clear, this is not a process issue, they simply do not issue or post the certificates even after they say they do. I used someone else (zoomdoc) and got it delivered in a day.

Original: Awful. As you can see in all the other 1-star reviews, they never actually post the physical copy and blame it on Royal Mail.

The tracking reference provided shows that the parcel hasnt been posted. When you reach out to then “as a gesture of goodwill” they re-post it for you, but they never provide tracking reference.

Its been 2 weeks, initiating a chargeback.

Scammers. Avoid.

Hi Zoltan,

We've been in direct contact with you to address your case, and we're actively reviewing our processes to prevent this happening to others.

Kind regards,

Wish I had read all the reviews before…

Wish I had read all the reviews before I used this company. My experience follows the same pattern as other sufferers; I had an electronic reply almost immediately and an e-medical letter with the assurance that the wet ink documents would follow within 2 days and that I would be issued with a tracking number as soon as they were dispatched.....that was last Thursday and still nothing, not even a tracking number to check. I also need the document urgently for a visa appointment so it looks as if I will have to go to another company and lose my money? Very fed up and annoyed

Hi Kathy,

Thank you for your feedback. We acknowledge that the delay and lack of a timely tracking update fell short of the standard we expect, particularly given the urgency of your visa appointment.

We have already processed a full refund and are in direct contact with you regarding your case.

Kind regards,

Unclear communication

I applied for a medical certificate (proof of vaccination history) for a Visa on Saturday early afternoon and received a payment confirmation and an email entitled "🙌 Thank you! Get some rest while your Partner Practitioner reviews" fairly quickly afterwards. The latter email includes a confirmation to click on to check the status of consultation, but when I click into the link, it requires a Letter Reference ID, which I don't have (all I have is a payment reference).

I assume the approach is to provide the Letter ID once the consultant has issued the letter, but it would be helpful to know what the status is regardless (I.e. if the request has been allocated to a Doctor but not yet completed, it would be comforting to know this). If the email i received is trying to say that it's been allocated to a Doctor already or there is a known ETA, I think this could be made clearer in the email content.

I sent a follow up email at 1pm (Monday) and have not heard back yet as at COB Tuesday.

I will update this review as the situation progresses.

Urgent request still unresolved

Urgent request still unresolved

I initially had a positive experience with Updoc, but unfortunately an urgent follow-up request has now been outstanding for several days.

I have contacted the support team multiple times and was subsequently informed through the status service that my request had been assigned to a Partner Practitioner and would be reviewed within the next few hours. Despite this, I am still waiting and have received no meaningful update.

The matter is extremely time-sensitive and I have made Updoc aware of the deadline.

I am simply asking for someone from the Updoc UK team to locate my case, escalate the outstanding request and provide me with an update as soon as possible.

Communication difficult

UPDATED AFTER UPDOC FINALLY GOT IN TOUCH. I paid for a Health Certificate but at the current time 5 days after I applied it has not been posted according the Royal Mail Tracker. Apparently UPDOC say Royal Mail did not scan it due to Mail Office problems. I am delayed with visa application. I had problems getting in touch with Updoc. They should try to be more contactable. But the customer help number just gives recorded message of an email address. It took some time to get any reply to email and this is urgent. Finally got an apology but still late and stressed. Let's hope it turns up soon (even if it will be a week late). UpDoc have been helpful since and I appreciate the reply below

Hi David,

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry to hear about the delay with your certificate - that's not the standard we aim for, and we apologise for the inconvenience.

We've checked our records and can confirm your Partner Doctor posted your certificate via Royal Mail, which typically arrives within 1-2 working days. Delays can occasionally occur with Royal Mail, especially during busy periods, and as delivery is managed entirely by them, we're unable to speed up or influence their process directly.

We've arranged for your Partner Doctor to re-sign and resend your documents and these have been posted today and should reach you by Monday.

Please email us at contact@updoc.uk if there are any further issues.

Kind regards,
Updoc Support

Wet ink medical certificate has still…

Wet ink medical certificate has still not been posted, its already been 8 days despite advertising 2 day turn around. I sent an email checking where my documents are and there has been no response after 2 days. Very poor service, i will likely have to contact my bank to reverse the transaction...

14 days later still no documents in the post, the tracking link they sent is still not working. I didn't believe the bad reviews when i read them before placing an order...please do not make the same mistake. Medical certificates do not get delivered! Its a scam. £60 gone down the drain.

Hi Shane,

Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about the delay with your certificate - that's not the standard we expect, and we apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.

We've checked our records and can see your Partner Doctor posted your certificate via Royal Mail 1st Class Priority, which normally arrives within 1–2 working days. Delays can occasionally happen with Royal Mail, particularly during busy periods, and as delivery is handled entirely by them, we're unable to speed up or influence their internal process directly.

Given the length of the delay, we'd like to arrange for your Partner Doctor to resign and resend your documents as a gesture of goodwill.

Please contact us at contact@updoc.uk with your reference ID and postage address so we can get this actioned for you straight away.

Kind regards,
Updoc Support
