How to get your France pension statement

Relevé de carrière / Relevé de situation individuelle (RIS)

Known in English as the Career statement. Look for this name on the site — it may not be translated.

• Your French social security number (numéro de sécurité sociale, 15 digits) — on a carte Vitale, payslips, or French tax returns.
• A FranceConnect identity, or an account created directly with l'Assurance Retraite. FranceConnect accepts several French identity providers, including the tax portal, which often survives a move abroad better than a bank login.
• Your French employers and years. France has dozens of schemes by profession, and knowing which one covered you saves a great deal of time.

1. 1
   Open info-retraite.fr

   This is the unified portal across all French schemes — basic and supplementary, private and public. Going scheme by scheme is the slow way; this shows the whole career in one place.

2. 2
   Sign in with FranceConnect

   If no FranceConnect provider works from abroad, create an account directly with l'Assurance Retraite instead.

3. 3
   Download your relevé de carrière

   It lists every quarter (trimestre) validated, by year and by scheme. French entitlement is counted in quarters, so this is the document that determines both eligibility and the rate.

   Check the supplementary scheme separately

   Private-sector employees also build AGIRC-ARRCO points, which are a substantial part of the total and are recorded as points rather than quarters.

   Save the statement

   Keep the PDF. CLEISS is the French liaison body for international social security and the right contact when a foreign scheme needs French periods confirmed.

FranceConnect will not authenticate you from outside France

Create an account directly on lassuranceretraite.fr, which can verify you with your social security number and personal details. Your Carsat (regional office) will also post a relevé de carrière on a written request.

Quarters are missing for years you know you worked

Missing quarters are common for short contracts, apprenticeships and work abroad. Payslips are the evidence; a régularisation de carrière is the procedure. Do it before claiming — afterwards it is far slower.

You cannot find your French social security number

It is on the carte Vitale and on French payslips. If you never had a carte Vitale, CLEISS or your last employer's payroll records can help trace it.

Upload the statement to your vault and we'll read the figures out of it — balances, benefits, vesting and retirement ages — and tell you what changed since your last one.
