Proof of Life Verification

From time to time, the Pension Services in the UK need to see a “proof of life” document, called a Life Certifcate, signed and stamped by a registered professional, confirming that you haven’t yet popped your clogs and are, indeed, still in the land of the living.
Previously, if you did receive one of these letters you were able to have it signed and stamped by a bank in Aljezur, but unfortunately, we understand that some banks no longer do it.

Our local pharmacist, Solange Escobar, tells us that as she fulfils the registered professional requirements, and she is happy and willing to provide this signing and stamping service at her pharmacy opposite the Bombeiros…free of charge. Please take your Proof of Identity (Passport) with you.

It’s a generous offer and we’d like to thank Solange for once again being so helpful to the British people living here.
