If you received a reminder from Renten Service after the beginning of September to send in your proof of life, this means that Renten Service had not yet received your 2024 proof of life as of Friday, August 16, 2024. If you have already sent your 2024 life certificate by mail or have since completed the Digital Proof of Life process, no further action is required. Please bear in mind that several proofs of life may be necessary if you receive more than one pension. Renten Service in Germany must receive your proof of life by no later than Friday, October 18, 2024.

• Pension beneficiaries residing abroad:
  Since you are entitled to German pension payments from a statutory pension or accident insurance provider, you must submit evidence upon request that you continue to meet the requirements to receive those payments.
• Pension beneficiaries residing in Germany:
  Since you live in Germany, are a pension beneficiary of German pension payments from a statutory pension or accident insurance provider, and have a bank account abroad, you must provide annual proof of life beginning this year.
