Send life certificate - with MitID

As a pensioner living abroad, you must confirm that you are alive every year. You do this by submitting a life certificate. You only need to submit a life certificate when Udbetaling Danmark requests it in a letter.

Udbetaling Danmark will send out a letter about life certificates again from mid-May 2025. The exact date will be announced here on this page.

So, you only need to take action when Udbetaling Danmark asks you to.

If you have MitID and are registered for Digital Post, you will receive the letter about the life certificate in your digital mailbox. If you are not registered, it is your responsibility to have an address where you can receive physical mail abroad.

How to

  • Click ‘Start’
  • Log in with MitID (a Danish digital signature)
  • Confirm that you are alive

You will get a receipt when Udbetaling Danmark has received your confirmation.

Udbetaling Danmark International Pension passes on your completed life certificate to the following authorities if you receive benefits from one or more of the following:
ATP Livslang Pension, Arbejdsmarkedets Erhvervssikring and/or Udbetaling Danmark Tjenestemandspension.

This means you only have to confirm you are alive once.
