Life Certificates — What Are They and Who Needs Them?

A life certificate (also called a certificate of existence or proof of life) is an annual document required by many foreign pension funds to confirm that a pension recipient is still alive and eligible to receive payments. Without it, pension payments may be suspended.

Common pension funds requiring annual life certificates from Irish residents include:

• UK State Pension — International Pension Centre (Newcastle)
• UK private and occupational pensions (teachers', civil service, NHS, etc.)
• US Social Security Administration
• German State Pension (Deutsche Rentenversicherung)
• Dutch ABP pension fund
• Australian superannuation funds
• Swiss pension funds
