Insurance record: what it means

The insurance record is the period during which ESV was paid for you; your right to a pension and its size depend on it.

The insurance record is the months and years for which the single social contribution was paid. It determines when you can retire and how large your pension will be. Service before 2004 is proven by the labour book; after that, by the register of insured persons.

The requirement grows every year: in 2026 retiring at 60 takes 33 years of record, and from 2028 it will take 35. People with less retire later.

You can check your record for free on the Pension Fund web portal.
