A document confirming the fact that a citizen is alive is issued by a notary on the territory of the Russian Federation or by a competent authority (official) of a foreign state.

Confirmation of the fact that a citizen is alive can be carried out by his personal appearance at a diplomatic mission or consular office of the Russian Federation, or at the FIU (its territorial body). In this case, an act is drawn up on the personal appearance of a citizen (his legal representative) in order to continue the payment of a pension in the appropriate period.

• if you receive a pension in the territory of the Russian Federation - to the relevant territorial body of the PFR

IMPORTANT! Now there is no need to draw up and submit a document confirming the fact that a citizen is alive (an act on the personal appearance of a citizen) directly on December 31 of each year, as it was before. The provision of a document confirming the fact of being alive is not required in the year the pension is awarded!

Documents issued by a diplomatic mission or consular office of the Russian Federation abroad:

• certificate confirming permanent residence outside Russia
• certificate of performance (non-performance) of paid work outside Russia
• an act on the personal appearance of a citizen or his legal representative in order to continue the payment of a pension

In accordance with Russian legislation, the payment of pensions to citizens living abroad, to whom pensions were assigned after 01/01/2015, is carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation in rubles. In turn, the payment of pensions, which were established before 01/01/2015 or under international treaties of the Russian Federation, is carried out in the same manner, i.e. by transferring it abroad. The transfer of a pension outside the Russian Federation is made in foreign currency at the ruble exchange rate established by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation on the day of the transaction. Consequently, the amount of pension transferred abroad may be more or less, depending on the exchange rate of the ruble against the corresponding currency.

Important! The pension assigned before January 1, 2015, which was paid to a citizen outside the Russian Federation, can be paid on the territory of the Russian Federation at his request when he submits it to the body that provided him with pensions on the territory of the Russian Federation before leaving for permanent residence outside the Russian Federation , statements in any form.

Appointment and payment of DEMO

To appoint a DEMO, you must submit the following documents to the address 119991, Moscow, Shabolovka st., 4, GSP-1:

• statement;
• a copy of the Russian passport certified by a notary or a consular office;
• a document confirming the preferential status;
• certificate of the date of departure of a citizen for permanent residence from the Russian Federation (moving from one state to another) and the place of his permanent residence outside the Russian Federation, which is issued by a diplomatic mission or consular office of the Russian Federation;
• Bank details.

The DEMO payment is made simultaneously with the payment of the corresponding pension.

Legalization of documents

For pension provision, only those foreign documents that are issued by the competent authorities (officials) of a foreign state and are properly legalized or certified by an apostille can be accepted.

There are two main types of document legalization - affixing the Apostille stamp (sometimes this procedure also called "simplified legalization" or "apostille") and consular legalization. The choice of the type of legalization in each specific case depends on the country of submission of the document.

In addition, the document must have a translation into Russian, certified by a notary or consular office of the Russian Federation. If the translation of a document into Russian is certified by a foreign notary, then the requirement for legalization or apostille is also applied to it, unless otherwise provided by an international treaty of the Russian Federation.

Consular legalization or apostille is a confirmation of the compliance of documents with the legislation of the state of their origin.

Consular legalization of foreign official documents is a procedure that provides for the authentication of the signature, the authority of the person who signed the document, the authenticity of the seal or stamp that affixes the document submitted for legalization, and the compliance of this document with the legislation of the host state. Legalization is not required if agreements between two or more states cancel or simplify this procedure.

If Russia has an agreement with the state on legal assistance, which provides for the refusal to legalize official foreign documents.

The treaty defines the procedure in accordance with which documents issued by the official authorities of one state party to the treaty (convention) are considered as official documents and use the probative force of official documents in the territories of other countries party to the treaty without any special certification.

Thus, if a foreign document of any state with which Russia has an agreement on legal assistance is submitted, then such a document can be accepted for pension provision without any additional confirmation of its authenticity. Exceptions: Documents evidencing any preferential status of a citizen.

If the document (certificate of its copy, translation into Russian) was issued by the competent authority (institution) or an official of a foreign state party to the Hague Convention.

According to the Hague Convention, the only formality that may be required to certify the authenticity of the signature, seal or stamp that affixes this document is the affixing of an apostille by the competent authority of the state in which this document was drawn up. Such a document may be accepted for pension purposes without any further confirmation of its authenticity.

Apostille affixes the competent authority of a foreign state on the document itself or on a separate sheet affixed to the document. An apostille can be drawn up both in one of the official languages ​​of the Convention (French or English), and in the national language of the state that issued the apostille. In practice, the inscriptions on the Apostille are often duplicated in two languages ​​(one of the languages ​​of the Convention and the national one).

If the document (certificate of its copy, translation into Russian) was issued by a competent authority (institution) or an official of a foreign state that does not have a legal assistance agreement with the Russian Federation and is not a party to the Hague Convention.

In relation to the respective countries, the Administrative Regulations for the Execution of the State Function for Consular Legalization of Documents, approved by Order of the Russian Foreign Ministry dated May 26, 2008 No. 6093, apply.

Currently, the functions of consular legalization abroad are performed by Russian foreign institutions (embassies and consulates). Russian foreign missions accept for legalization documents intended for use in Russia, issued by official bodies and legalized by the competent authority of the host country.

Submission of a document certified by an apostille does not eliminate the need for translation of the document. If at the same time the translation of the document into Russian is certified by a foreign notary, then the requirement for apostille is also applied to it, unless otherwise provided by an international treaty (agreement) of the Russian Federation. In this case, the certification inscription of the notary must be drawn up in Russian (translated into Russian).

IMPORTANT! Regardless of which country (which has a legal assistance agreement with Russia, is a party to the Hague Convention or not) issued the document, the following additional requirement applies: if the document is in a foreign language, it must be translated into Russian. The accuracy of the translation (authenticity of the translator's signature) is certified by a notary engaged in private practice, a notary working in state notary offices, or consular institutions of the Russian Federation.

The procedure for receiving a pension by pensioners living outside the country

On August 13, 2016, the Government of the Russian Federation, by its decree, amended the current legislation on the procedure for paying those Russians who permanently reside outside the country.

According to the innovations, these citizens engaged in labor activities will receive their pension in the initially established amount, and also without its increase or adjustment, which is carried out by the Government of the Russian Federation for non-working pensioners. Thus, both the size of the fixed payment to the assigned pension and its size itself will remain unchanged.

If these persons stop working, then the size of the insurance pension will be indexed, and the fixed payment to it will also be increased. This will happen the very next month, which will follow the month of termination of the citizen's labor activity.

There is a statute of limitations for which the payment will be made. This period is equal to three years until the moment when the citizen applied to the authorized bodies with an application and submitted the necessary documents:

• a document confirming the fact of termination of employment or employment outside the country. Such a document must be issued by a competent foreign body or official;
• certificate of the established form of a diplomatic mission or consular office of the Russian Federation, which indicates the presence or absence of a citizen of any work for which he receives money.
