FAQ

How do I apply for a German widow pension?

You apply by submitting a survivor pension application (Antrag auf Hinterbliebenenrente) to the Deutsche Rentenversicherung. This requires the deceased person insurance number, a marriage or partnership certificate, the death certificate and your own identity documents. From abroad, the process is often handled through the German embassy or a pension service. Fundsback supports you with the forms, translations and authority communication so the process stays manageable.
