Each year, we need a life certificate from you so that you can receive the payments you are entitled to. If you live in a country with which Sweden does not exchange life certificates electronically, you will receive a life certificate by post.
How to submit your life certificate
We will send you a letter containing a life certificate form during the spring or summer. If you do not return the completed life certificate, your payments will cease until we receive a signed and stamped certificate from you. You can submit your life certificate electronically whether or not you have e-identification. You can also send your life certificate to us by post.

Submit your life certificate using e-identification
Log in and approve your life certificate immediately with e-identification.
If you do not have e-identification
Upload a photograph or scanned copy of your life certificate stamped by a competent authority.
Send your life certificate by post
If you are unable to submit your life certificate electronically, you can post it to us. We are not able to collect registered letters containing life certificates. If the postal service in the country where you live is unreliable, we recommend that you upload your stamped life certificate electronically.

Have you not received a letter from us?
If you have not received the life certificate form by post, it may be because we have not yet sent it or because we have retrieved the data automatically from the country in which you live. It may also be because you have moved and forgotten to notify us of your new address.
If you have not received a letter from us, you can download the form here. It is important that you read the information concerning how to complete the form.

Certain countries will send us your life certificate automatically
We exchange life certificates electronically with countries with a sizeable population of Swedish pensioners. This means that your life certificate will be sent to us automatically without the need for you to do anything.
In certain cases, you may receive a letter containing a life certificate even if you live in a country with which the Swedish Pensions Agency has an electronic exchange arrangement. If you do receive a letter, you need to complete the form and submit the life certificate to us, either electronically or by post.
