Please provide your 'proof of being alive'
Are you living abroad while receiving a pension from us? If so, we will assess your data every year to make sure that you are alive and entitled to the pension. This is because in the event of your death we do not receive notification from foreign bodies. The assessment takes place via the Non-Resident Registration (RNI). Are the details from the RNI insufficient? Then in October you will receive a form entitled 'Proof of Living' (attestation de vita).
Fill out the form or have it filled out
The 'proof of life' form consists of two parts. You must complete the first part yourself and have the second part completed by a competent authority. Authorized bodies include a notary public, municipality, embassy or consulate. On the website of the Government of the Netherlands you can enter in which country you live, and where you can go to have the second part filled in.
Upload the form via MyStaplesPension
Log in and then choose Upload Documents. Please make sure that the completed document is in jpg, jpeg, pdf or png format and is no larger than 8 MB. Uploading documents to your MyStaplesPension is fast, safe and efficient. Because the documents are directly linked to your information, we can get started on your request faster.
Submit the form no later than December 31
Make sure we receive the form by December 31 to avoid suspending your pension benefits.
Is uploading via MyStaplesPensioen not possible? Then there are other options:
- Emailing or sending it by post for the attention of Pension Service.
- Are you in the Netherlands? Then you can also make an appointment to come and visit us to prove that you are still alive.
