How can I apply for or confirm my Ukrainian pension payments while living in the UK, and does the Consulate assist with verifying related documents?

04.11.2025 09:10:53 Ukrainian citizens residing in the United Kingdom can continue receiving their pension payments from Ukraine if they remain registered with the Pension Fund of Ukraine. The Consulate of Ukraine in the UK does not directly handle pension payments but can assist with verifying and certifying documents required by the Pension Fund — such as proof of residence, identity, or confirmation that the person is alive (“certificate of being alive”). Applicants usually need to submit a written request to their local Pension Fund office in Ukraine and provide certified copies of their passport, taxpayer number, and UK residence proof. These copies can be notarized and legalized at the Consulate before being sent to Ukraine. Pension transfers are then processed through authorized Ukrainian banks or international payment arrangements.

04.11.2025 09:43:18 While the Ukrainian Consulate in the UK cannot issue or process pension payments, it does play a facilitating role in confirming eligibility and verifying documents for the Pension Fund of Ukraine. Individuals may request the Consulate to issue or certify a “certificate of life status” required for continued pension disbursement. This certificate is typically needed annually and must be submitted to the Pension Fund to maintain payments. The Consulate may also authenticate pension-related documents, such as applications, declarations, or powers of attorney authorizing relatives in Ukraine to manage pension matters. All submissions must comply with Ukrainian regulations on international document legalization and personal data verification.
