The "Retirement" life event on the government services portal now offers the option to obtain an electronic pensioner certificate. This digital document can be used to confirm pensioner status and receive benefits and discounts, such as at pharmacies and museums. The implementation and development of these life events is part of the federal project "A State for People," overseen by Deputy Prime Minister and Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.
The new "Retirement" life event feature allows you to apply for an electronic pensioner certificate in just a few clicks, without visiting government agencies or leaving the government services portal. This digital document can be used to confirm your pensioner status when receiving social, medical, and transportation benefits, and can also be used to receive discounts and special offers at retailers and organizations participating in pensioner support programs.
"Today, older people actively use online services and are skilled in working in a digital environment. To make their life easier and save them time, in 2024 we launched a life situation on Gosuslugi, which allows you to apply for a pension in just a few clicks, calculate your payment amount, and select a delivery method. Now, the Life Situation functionality has been expanded to include the possibility of obtaining an electronic certificate," said Dmitry Grigorenko.
The new service expands the functionality of the "Retirement" life event, which has already been used by more than 500,000 citizens across the country since its launch in 2024.
Life-situational services represent a new stage in the development of the government services system. One such service combines, on average, approximately 17 government services related to a single topic, and helps users access them comprehensively, in a single-window environment. For example, "University Admissions," "House Construction," "Online Fraud Protection," "Large Families," and so on.
The catalog of life situations on the government services portal includes over 40 federal life situations. By the end of 2025, this number will increase to 70.
