SGK (Social Security Institution) Documents Translation

Which documents does the Social Security Institution (SGK) issue?

It keeps the insurance, premium and work records. The most-translated SGK-sourced documents for Italian applications:

• The SGK service record / service schedule
• The insured entry/exit declaration
• Pension / allocation documents

How is it used in an Italian application?

SGK documents are used to document the work history in work/residence procedures, regular employment in some visa files, and the service period in social-security equivalence processes. For the full set of document types, see the document translations section.

How do you get the documents?

You can obtain the documents, barcoded/certified, from the SGK services on e-Devlet.

The apostille and certification process

The apostille on public-sourced SGK documents is taken through the relevant Governorate/District Governorate. Take the document current, have it apostilled where needed and have the sworn Italian translation made.

What to watch

The workplace titles, the premium-day counts and the periods must be preserved exactly in the translation; the document must be current-dated.
