Identify the receiving authority, separate the work, school and residence files, and use the correct examination or overseas-record verification route.
Read the guideHealth examinations & certificates
Match the examination, report and recipient before you book
A clinical examination, an institution-issued report, validation of an overseas record, employer or school intake, a work-permit file and an exit-entry decision are separate steps. The correct route depends on the exact application, city, recipient and current official instructions.

Need urgent medical care? Use the clinical route first.
An administrative examination center is not a substitute for emergency or symptom-led medical care. For a medical emergency in mainland China, call 120.

Name the receiving process
Work permission, school registration and a residence document can request different forms, issuers, validity periods and submission steps.
Validation is not the same as a new examination
An overseas physical-examination record may be reviewed for completeness and authenticity; missing or unacceptable items can still require local examination.
A report does not make the final decision
The medical institution records findings. The employer, school, work-permit authority or exit-entry authority separately decides whether the document satisfies its process.

Read the guideScope boundary
This collection covers source-led administrative navigation for health examinations and related documents used in work, study and residence processes. It does not select examination items, interpret findings, diagnose a condition, decide whether a person is medically fit for a job or course, determine admission, employment, work-permit or residence-permit eligibility, or promise that an overseas or local document will be accepted. A voluntary routine checkup, a symptom-led clinical visit, an occupational-health examination tied to workplace hazards, an occupational-disease diagnosis and a sick-leave or return-to-work document have different purposes and rules. Confirm the exact application, current city instructions, designated or eligible institution, preparation requirements, report format, validity, recipient and privacy channel before acting.
