Digidenty app for life certificates
For Dutch people who receive their AOW pension abroad, the Social Insurance Bank (SVB) is introducing a new, user-friendly way to prove that they are still alive. With the innovative Digidentity Wallet app, the process of sending a life certificate is not only simplified, but also accelerated, reducing the need for paper documentation.
In the coming months, the Dutch embassy will offer the opportunity to apply for a Dutch passport or identity card, have your life certificate signed and/or receive a DigiD activation code at four different locations in Thailand.
I am not receiving confirmation from the SVB about receiving my 2023 life certificate
I have not received an answer to my questions about receiving my 2023 life certificate for months, have the upload or the documents sent arrived? I asked twice about this, but no answer, not even by email!
Pension fund does not accept life certificates
Have a pension from Pension Fund Healthcare and Welfare. For the first time they are sending a proof of life. I always sent the form signed by the SVB in Chiang Mai to them with a stamp, never a problem. Now sent to them again, and received a message that it has been rejected with the motivation that it must be done by a competent authority, such as the police or notary or town hall. But as far as I know they don't do that. Are there any readers with similar experiences?

For my Belgian pension, I now have to send a life certificate for the first time. I received a form to be completed and then signed and sealed by “the local authority”. Which local authority is responsible for this?
NL Embassy: You can apply for a certificate of life or have it stamped without an appointment

Agenda: Possibility to apply for a passport, ID card, DigiD and sign a life certificate in Phuket on December 15
On Thursday, December 15, a consular employee of the Dutch embassy will be in Phuket. On this occasion you can apply for a Dutch passport or identity card, have your life certificate signed and request a DigiD code.
I immigrated to Thailand at the end of August, but I have already received a letter from the BPFL for the Attestation de Vita from my deceased wife, but where should I go now? I've already been to the SSO in Sisaket, they don't do anything just for the SVB. After that, I went to immigration, was there now anyway, no not.
Where to go now? And try notary or lawyer or the bank? Who has experience with that?
On Tuesday, October 4, a consular employee of the Dutch embassy will be in Chiang Mai. On this occasion you can apply for a Dutch passport or identity card, have your life certificate signed and request a DigiD code.
I have to have my life certificate signed again for Belgium. I did this through a doctor for 3 years, but the last time I received an email that next time it should be done through an official body.

Life Certificate Signing -continued – (Readers Submission)
I have read with interest the responses to my question. There were various answers, such as consultation with the head office of the SSO. Which I seriously want to try and there were also playful answers and also messages from people who fortunately succeed and some who have found another way to obtain the signature.
Signing the life certificate?
I have a question for the people who live near Raikhing (which is a half hour drive from NakhonPathom). I have to send in the “life certificates” again for my pension and the SVB. Just like previous years, problems with finding the authorities that can and want to sign it.
Technology does not stand still (readers' submission)
Even though I am far from 67/68 and I do not yet receive a state pension, I also cannot escape the life certificate for the benefits agency in the Netherlands.
