If you are a newly recruited teacher or looking to confirm your permanent appointment with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), you’ve likely heard about the GP69 Form. In the Kenyan civil service, this isn’t just a piece of paper; it’s your formal “Medical Examination Certificate.”

The TSC, like any major employer, needs to ensure that its staff are physically and mentally fit to handle the demands of the classroom. Whether you are entering the service for the first time or returning from a long leave, the GP69 is your gateway to a finalized contract.
FAQ: Your Guide to the GP69 Medical Examination
Q: What is the primary purpose of the GP69 form for teachers? A: The GP69 form is used to certify that a candidate is fit for permanent, contract, or temporary employment within the Republic of Kenya. For TSC teachers, it is a mandatory document during the registration and recruitment process. It ensures that any pre-existing conditions are noted and that the teacher can perform their duties without undue risk to themselves or their students.
Q: Where can I get the GP69 form, and who fills it out? A: You can download the blank form online (link below). The form is divided into two distinct parts:
-
Part I: This is usually filled out by the “Sending Officer” (your school head or a TSC official) or the candidate themselves, indicating the type of employment being sought.
-
Part II: This is the strictly “Medical” section. It must be completed, signed, and stamped by a Government Medical Officer at a public hospital. Private hospital stamps are generally not accepted for official TSC recruitment.
Q: What kind of medical tests should I expect during the GP69 medical check-up?
A: The Medical Officer will conduct a general physical exam. You should expect questions about your medical history (past surgeries or chronic illnesses), a vision test, a blood pressure check, and sometimes basic laboratory tests (like Urinalysis). The goal is to determine if you are “Fit” or “Unfit” for service.
Q: Do I need the GP69 medical form for teacher registration or just for employment?
A: Both! If you are applying for a TSC Number for the first time, you are required to upload a scanned copy of a completed GP69 medical letter onto the TSC online portal as part of the “Step 4” documentation. Without it, your application for registration will be marked as incomplete.
Take Action: Finalize Your Appointment
Procrastinating on your medical exam can lead to delays in your salary processing or your permanent appointment letter. Most government hospitals can complete this process in a single morning if you arrive early with the form in hand.
Important Reminder: Ensure the Medical Officer returns the duplicate copy to you. You will need to keep a copy for your personal records and submit the original (or a high-quality scan) to the Commission.
