How to get your Norway pension statement

Pensjonsopptjening (Din Pensjon)

Known in English as the Pension earnings record. Look for this name on the site — it may not be translated.

• Your Norwegian national identity number (fødselsnummer) or D-number if you were a temporary worker.
• BankID, Buypass or Commfides. Norwegian electronic ID is difficult to keep after leaving, and this is the main obstacle.
• The years you lived in Norway, not only worked — the guarantee pension depends on residence.

1. 1
   Open NAV's retirement pension pages

   NAV administers the Norwegian state pension. It publishes a dedicated section for people applying from abroad, which is the right starting point if you have left.

   Sign in to Din Pensjon

   Din Pensjon shows your accumulated pension earnings and lets you model claiming ages. Norway allows flexible drawing from 62, subject to a minimum level.

   Read your earnings record

   Since the 2011 reform, earnings build a pension balance. Older years use the previous points system, and both can appear.
4. 4
   Check occupational pensions separately

   Norsk Pensjon aggregates private and occupational schemes. Almost every Norwegian employee has an occupational pension in addition to NAV's.

   Save both records

   Keep the NAV record and the Norsk Pensjon overview. Norway withholds tax on pensions paid abroad, so also read Skatteetaten's guidance before you claim.

Your BankID stopped working when you left Norway

NAV accepts applications and enquiries by post from people who cannot log in, and its international pension unit handles cases from abroad. Say clearly in writing that you have no Norwegian electronic ID.

You only had a D-number as a temporary worker

D-numbers still carry pension earnings. Give NAV the D-number and your employer's details; earnings recorded under it are not lost.

Norsk Pensjon shows nothing

It only covers connected providers and needs Norwegian electronic ID. Ask your former employer which pension company they used and contact that company directly.

Whether NAV currently accepts any foreign eID for Din Pensjon.

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.
