What is the SGK service record?
The SGK service record shows the person’s insured working periods, the workplaces and the premium-day counts. It can be obtained via e-Devlet and officially documents the work history.
What is it needed for in an Italian application?
It can be asked for to prove the work history in work/residence procedures, regular employment in some visa files, and the service period in pension/social-security equivalence processes. It is used as a supporting document in work-related applications.
Where and how do you get the document?
Obtain the document from the “SGK Registration and Service Record” service on e-Devlet; a barcoded/certified printout is preferred for official use. The apostille on this public-sourced document can be taken through the relevant Governorate/District Governorate.
The apostille and sworn-translation process
Take the document current, have it apostilled where needed and have the sworn Italian translation made. The premium-day counts, the workplace titles and the periods must be preserved exactly in the translation.
What to watch in the sworn translation
Carrying the workplace titles and the dates across correctly matters for the work history to be read right by the Italian authority. The document is expected to be current-dated.
