Pension insurance: Get information about the pension online
If you would like to know what your pension is like, you can easily get the information you want online. Below you will find out the conditions under which you can view your pension insurance documents online.
Online access to your pension account
The Deutsche Rentenversicherung Bund is amazingly progressive when it comes to communication via digital media. It is therefore no problem to take a look at your pension insurance documents online. However - but that should be self-evident - you must of course be able to legitimize yourself and the following options are available to you.
- If you have the electronic proof of identity (eID) or the electronic residence permit (eAT) activated for your new ID card, this enables you to view your insurance documents online.
- You can also view your insurance data online if you have a signature card.
- However, in addition to the identification cards mentioned above, you must also enter your pension insurance number in order to have online access to your documents.
- Here you come to the online offer of pension insurance.
Pension information by post
If you have deactivated the online function of your ID card and do not have a signature card, you will of course still receive the desired information - just not directly online.
- You can contact the Deutsche Rentenversicherung via email.
- Alternatively, you can use the free service phone number 0800 - 1000 4800.
- However, in this case you will not be given the requested information immediately for security reasons, but will be sent to you by post.
