Is it time for you to apply for a well-deserved pension and get a pension certificate? Then contact the HR department or the accounting department of your company or directly to your local branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and start collecting the necessary documents.
Instructions
Step 1
Collect the documents you need to receive your pension. You will definitely need: - passport; - pension insurance certificate (SNILS); - marriage certificate or other documents confirming the change of name; - work book or other documents confirming your work experience; - salary certificates for 2000 and 2001, etc. For more detailed lists of required documents, you can find out on the website of the Pension Fund of Russia https://www.pfrf.ru/list_of_documents/ or in your regional branch of the PFR.
Step 2
Take copies of all documents. Make sure that your name and surname are correct everywhere. If there is a discrepancy in at least one letter, you will not be able to apply for a pension, and therefore receive a pension certificate.
Step 3
Apply with a ready-made package of documents to the regional office of the Pension Fund and write a statement there in the prescribed form. Please note that if some documents are missing, you will be able to provide them later according to Law No. 173-FZ. In this case, an employee of the FIU will have to issue you an appropriate receipt-notification, which will indicate a list of missing documents, as well as the time frame in which you will need to provide them.
Step 4
Collect and submit the missing documents to the Pension Fund. Wait while the FIU employees check all the information you provided, calculate your pension and issue a pension certificate.
Step 5
Please note that the pension certificate must be issued to you free of charge. However, in practice, it sometimes happens that the blanks are simply not available, and then people have to buy them at their own expense. You can find forms on sale at Rospechat kiosks, stationery stores, etc.
Step 6
Don't panic if you lose your retirement card. It is relatively easy to duplicate a document. Apply with the appropriate statement to your HR department or directly to the pension fund and wait for it to be issued to you.
