The Swedish Pensions Agency (Pensionsmyndigheten) sends out a life certificate form each year during the summer, starting in May. The deadline for submitting the certificate is stated in the letter you receive. If you do not submit your life certificate on time, your pension payments may be suspended until Pensionsmyndigheten has received and approved your certificate.
The fastest way to have your life certificate approved is to submit it digitally through the Pensionsmyndigheten website using an electronic identification (BankID or Freja).
If you do not have an electronic ID, you must appear in person at the Consulate General to have your life certificate stamped and certified. Please send an email to generalkonsulatet.houston.pass@gov.se to inquire about available appointment times.
