If you’re applying for a Spanish long-stay visa from the USA, your consulate may have asked you to provide a medical certificate using a specific template. These templates are bilingual (English and Spanish on the same document) and contain the specific wording that Spanish consulates require.
Below you’ll find the three templates currently in use across US Spanish consulates, available to download as free PDFs. Use the one your consulate has asked for, or download all three if you’re not sure.

A simplified bilingual format with the standard IHR 2005 reference. Cleaner layout with three boxes for the medical center stamp, doctor’s signature, and license number, plus separate fields for day, month, and year.
Once you’ve downloaded the template, the next step is to find a doctor to fill it in and sign it. The Spanish consulate has specific requirements about who can sign the certificate and how it must be presented:
To see this example walked through element-by-element, see our Spanish visa medical certificate example. For the full list of requirements, see our Spanish visa medical certificate requirements checklist.
Once you have the template, the harder part is finding a doctor who’s willing to print it on their letterhead, fill it in with the correct wording, add their stamp and license number, and confirm they’re an MD or DO (not an NP or PA). For some applicants this is straightforward. For others, finding a doctor who’ll work with the template and the specific Spanish consulate requirements isn’t as easy as expected.

Every Wilmer Health certificate is reviewed and signed by a licensed Medical Doctor, issued in the bilingual format, with the medical center stamp and license number included as standard.
