Proof of Life

A life certificate is a written statement confirming that you are alive. Pension funds, life insurance companies, or other benefit-paying agencies may request this. Apply for the certificate online using DigiD or make an appointment. For foreign agencies, you will need an Attestatie de vita . You must always apply for this in person at the service counter. Please make an appointment to do so.
