Applying for an Attestatie de vita (Certificate of life) in the Netherlands

The Attestatie de vita is a document that you can use outside the Netherlands to prove that you are alive. Some organizations, such as a pension fund, may request you to produce this document.

Attestatie de vita

Does a foreign organization need proof that you are alive? Then you can have an Attestation de vita drawn up.
