Proof-of-life certificate

What it is

The notary can certify that a person is alive. This certificate is often required by pension funds in other countries for pension payments to continue. The person must appear in person before the notary.

What to bring

  • Valid identity card or passport
  • The form of the pension fund or of the institution that requires the certificate, if any

This list is for guidance only. The exact documents depend on the individual case. Call the office before you come.

How it works

  1. Call the office and briefly describe your matter.
  2. Bring the required documents and your identity document.
  3. The notary verifies the identity of the parties and explains the legal consequences of the act to them.
  4. The document is read, signed and certified at the office.

Fee

Notary fees are set by the Ministry of Justice in Administrative Instruction MoJ-No. 05/2022 and are the same at every notary in Kosovo. A notary may not charge more or less than the official tariff. The amount depends on the type of notarial act and, in some cases, on the value of the matter.
