Hi all, In my organization, we ask employees for an original fitness medical certificate as part of documentation formalities. I wanted to understand if it is okay for him/her to submit a photocopy of the same instead of the original certificate.

Thank you,

Hi, Wherever possible, submission of the original fitness medical certificate will be good. However, if the employee is keen on retaining the original certificate, you may accept the Xerox copy of the same after verifying the original.

Hello, Yes, for the record, you can accept the self-attested Xerox copy after verifying the original copy. Actually, original papers are usually clearly superior to their copies in many respects, that's why companies demand original papers.

If the report is a pre-employment medical fitness certificate, insist on the original one. Even while continuing in employment, after availing sick leave, the original medical fitness certificate needs to be deposited with the company along with the sick leave application.
