Every year, the Swiss Compensation Office and the AI Office for insured persons residing abroad carry out checks to verify the existence of insured persons.
For this purpose, we send you a form to be completed and signed by your local municipality or a competent authority. This form must be returned to us within 90 days, along with a copy of your ID card, so that your pension can continue to be paid without interruption.
If you need the "Certificate of Life and Civil Status" form, you can download it below and return it to us by post or e-mail.
Bilateral agreements ensure that we automatically receive information about deaths in the following countries: Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Croatia.
If you do not receive a form from us, no further action is required on your part.
