How to get your Turkey pension statement

Hizmet dökümü (SGK tescil ve hizmet dökümü)

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

• Your Turkish identity number (T.C. Kimlik No), or your foreigner identity number if you worked in Turkey as a foreign national.
• An e-Devlet password. It is issued in person at PTT branches in Turkey, and Turkish consulates can help citizens abroad — this is the usual blocker.
• Your Turkish employers and years, and which status you had: SSK (employee), Bağ-Kur (self-employed) or Emekli Sandığı (civil servant), now all merged into SGK.

1. 1
   Sign in to e-Devlet

   e-Devlet is the Turkish government's single online services portal, and SGK services run through it.

2. 2
   Open the SGK service record

   The hizmet dökümü lists your insured days by employer and status. Turkish entitlement depends on premium days and insurance start date, so both matter.
3. 3
   Check which status covered each period

   SSK, Bağ-Kur and Emekli Sandığı had different rules and different retirement conditions. The merged record still distinguishes them, and your entitlement depends on the mix.

   Consider borçlanma if you have gaps

   Turkey allows some past periods to be bought in — military service, periods abroad, maternity. Whether it is worthwhile is a separate question, but the record is what tells you the gaps exist.
5. 5
   Save the record

   Keep the PDF. If you also have a private pension (BES), the Pension Monitoring Centre tracks those separately.

You cannot get an e-Devlet password from abroad

Turkish consulates assist citizens; PTT branches issue passwords in person in Turkey. SGK provincial directorates also issue service records on a written request, and consulates can forward applications.

You are a foreign national who worked in Turkey

A foreigner identity number was assigned. Provide it with your passport details and employer; SGK can trace insured periods without a Turkish citizenship number.

Periods under an old fund are missing

Pre-merger SSK and Bağ-Kur records were migrated into SGK. If a period is absent, ask SGK to search under the predecessor institution and the employer's old registration number.

Which Turkish consulates currently issue e-Devlet credentials, and whether the service record is available in English.

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.
