Romanian pensioners are required to submit a “certificate of life” to their local pension authority by September 30th. This document confirms they are still alive to continue receiving pension payments. The certificate must be completed and signed in front of a legal authority. Romanian citizens receiving pensions while living abroad are also subject to this requirement and the same deadline. Failure to submit the certificate could jeopardize future pension payments. The document is essential for preventing fraudulent claims and ensuring funds are distributed correctly. This annual verification process impacts a significant portion of the pensioner population.
