Notarisation for pension purposes

Original or officially certified documents must be submitted to the institution in order to provide evidence of periods in the statutory pension insurance scheme.

Course description

Notarisation is the official certification of the correctness of a signature or copy of a document.

As a rule, originals or officially notarised documents must be submitted to the pension provider as proof of periods in the statutory pension insurance scheme.

These may be the following documents, for example:

  • School reports

  • Birth certificates
  • Marriage certificate
  • Death certificate

For pension purposes, you can have these documents notarised by us free of charge.
