atestado médico (medical certificate of fitness)
A doctor's certificate confirming that a person is fit, for exchanging or renewing a driving licence, for work or for sport. For a licence it is issued electronically, and the doctor sends it to the IMT directly. It can be issued by your family doctor at the health centre or by any licensed private clinic.
Where you come across it. Exchanging or renewing a driving licence, starting a job, joining a sports club.
A private clinic issues the certificate on the same day for a fee; waiting for an appointment with your family doctor to get one usually takes more time than it is worth.
