When you reach retirement age, the question arises of obtaining the appropriate certificate. It is necessary to confirm your eligibility for a pension when it is issued, as well as to use the various types of benefits relying on pensioners.
Necessary
- The passport;
- Employment history;
- Insurance certificate;
- Marriage certificate;
- Birth certificate of children;
- Certificate from the place of work (if you work);
- Education document.
Instructions
Step 1
First, you need to collect the necessary documents and make photocopies from them. These documents are necessary as they reflect all the necessary information about you. A passport confirms your identity, a work book - work experience, an insurance certificate automatically means that you have a retirement account, etc. Make them in advance, since not all Pension Fund offices have the ability to copy documents. Copies must be clear and legible and all information must be easily readable. Otherwise, they may not be accepted or erroneous information may be written off from them.
Step 2
Then you need to contact the office of the Pension Fund of your area. The list of branches is easy to find on the website of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Reception days for individuals are Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There they will take photocopies of your documents and fill out a form. Please fill it in neatly, in legible handwriting, preferably in block letters. Take your time - a questionnaire with amendments, blots and unreadable text may not be accepted and you will have to fill it out again and then wait your turn again.
Step 3
After your documents and application form are accepted, you will be assigned a day when to come for a ready-made certificate. Depending on the workload of the department, you will have to wait up to a month.
Step 4
Upon receipt of a ready-made pension certificate, you will definitely have to show the employee of the pension fund a document confirming your identity - a passport. So don't forget it at home, otherwise you won't get what you came for.
Step 5
Having received a ready-made certificate, be sure to immediately check it for errors. Unfortunately, such cases are quite frequent. If you are indignant about the mistakes right away, you can immediately order a new, corrected ID. Otherwise, you will have to apply again and wait.
