Life certificate

Do you receive a pension from a foreign pension insurance institution? If so, you usually have to submit a life certificate once a year.

Course description

Persons who receive a pension from a foreign pension insurance institution are requested by this institution once or several times a year to submit a so-called life certificate. The pension recipients concerned usually receive a form ("Lebensbescheinigung"), which must be completed, signed by hand and returned after the official confirmation. You can obtain this official confirmation from the Citizens Office and the Munich Insurance Office.

You will only receive the life certificate from us by prior appointment.

Difference between the Citizens Office and the Insurance Office
You can obtain the life certificate from both the Citizens Office and the Insurance Office. The Citizens Office only issues the certificate. The Insurance Office also offers the possibility of counselling.

You need an appointment for your visit. When making an appointment, you can choose whether you would like to come to a location of the Citizens' Office or to the Insurance Office.
