How to get your Malta pension statement

Contribution record / Rekord tal-kontribuzzjonijiet

Known in English as the Social security contribution record. Look for this name on the site — it may not be translated.

• Your Maltese social security number and ID card number.
• An e-ID Malta account, which is what mySocialSecurity authenticates against.
• Your Maltese employers and years. Malta counts contribution weeks, so short periods still register.

1. 1
   Open mySocialSecurity

   The Department of Social Security's online portal, covering contribution records, payment details and proof of life.

2. 2
   Sign in with e-ID Malta

   e-ID is the government's single identity. It is tied to a Maltese ID card, so it is the obstacle for people who have left.
3. 3
   Open your contribution record

   It lists paid and credited contributions by year. Maltese pensions depend on both the number of contributions and the yearly average, so the pattern matters, not just the total.

   Check credited contributions

   Periods of study, unemployment and certain care responsibilities can be credited rather than paid. They count, and they are frequently missing.
5. 5
   Save the record

   Keep the PDF or the letter, and note the reference of any correction request.

You cannot get an e-ID from outside Malta

The Department of Social Security responds to written requests for a contribution record. If you live in an EU/EEA country, lodging a claim through your country of residence also triggers Malta to produce the record.

You worked in Malta but never held a Maltese ID card

A social security number was still issued. It appears on payslips; the Department can trace it from your name, date of birth and employer.

The record shows fewer years than you expected

Check whether periods were recorded under a different employer name or an agency. Ask for a written breakdown by year rather than a total.

Whether e-ID Malta can currently be issued or renewed from abroad.

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.
