How to get your Italy pension statement
How to retrieve your own official pension record from Italy, step by step.
This is free — you can do it yourself
There is no charge for your own pension record. The guide below just makes it faster. PensionChart never asks for your portal login, and never contacts an authority on your behalf.
What you're asking for
Estratto conto contributivo
Known in English as the Contribution statement. Look for this name on the site — it may not be translated.
INPS — Fascicolo Previdenziale del Cittadino
inps.it
Before you start
- Your codice fiscale (Italian tax code).
- SPID or a CIE (electronic identity card). SPID can be obtained from abroad through some providers, and Italian consulates assist — but it is the usual blocker.
- Your Italian employers and years, including any periods as autonomo (self-employed), which sit in a different INPS fund.
Steps
- Open MyINPSINPS administers the main Italian pension system. The Fascicolo Previdenziale is your personal social security dossier inside it.Open this page ↗
- Authenticate with SPID or CIEBoth are national digital identities. CIE needs the physical card and an NFC phone; SPID is a credential and generally travels better.
- Open the estratto conto contributivoThis lists every contribution period by employer and fund. Italy's system is contribution-based for most workers now, so the accumulated contributions are the substance of the entitlement.Open this page ↗
- Check for gaps and request correctionsINPS provides a formal channel for contesting a contribution statement. Gaps from short contracts and agency work are common.
- Save the statementDownload the PDF. The PensAMI simulator can then show what those contributions produce under current rules.Open this page ↗
If it doesn't work
- You cannot obtain SPID from outside Italy
- This is the most common Italian obstacle. Use a patronato instead — these are authorised welfare assistance bodies, they are free to the user, many have offices abroad, and they can retrieve your INPS record and file applications on your behalf.
- Your contributions are split across several funds
- Employment, self-employment and some professions sit in separate funds. They can be combined, but the mechanisms differ (ricongiunzione, cumulo, totalizzazione) and the choice affects the outcome — a patronato is the practical way through it.
- You do not know your codice fiscale
- It is derived from your name, date and place of birth, and appears on any Italian contract or payslip. Italian consulates issue and confirm it.
Once you have 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.
