Employee pension card and pension certificate

We will send the employee pension card, which entitles the holder to pensioner discounts, by post to your home address roughly two weeks after the pension decision has been granted. The trilingual employee pension card serves as proof of retirement also outside of Finland.
You can obtain the pension card from Varma if you receive

• old-age pension
• permanent, full disability pension or
• the years-of-service pension

The card can only be granted to persons who receive a permanent full pension, so partial early old-age pension, part-time pension, partial disability pension, the cash rehabilitation benefit or survivors’ pension do not entitle you to the employee pension card.

You can also save your electronic employee pension card on your smart phone or tablet when you log in to our online service using your personal Finnish banking codes or a mobile certificate.

You can also order the conventional card from our online service if your old card has been lost or damaged.

The employee pension card page is only available in Varma Online Service to those who are entitled to the employee pension card.

When dealing with the tax office, the social insurance institution (Kela) or social service offices, you may be required to provide certificates concerning your pension. The fastest way to get a certificate is by logging in to our online service. When you log in to our online service, you can print up a certificate stating the

• amount of your monthly pension
• the amount of pension paid this year
• the amount of pension paid last year

The certificate in our online service is available in Finnish, Swedish and English.

If you require a signed or stamped certificate, for instance for a visa, log in to Varma Online Service and send a message via the “Messages and documents” page, or send a request for a pension certificate via secured email to elakkeenmaksu@varma.fi.
