Quick answer
To request an official replacement or certified record, prepare pensioner identity, pension and bank number, old copy or payment proof, loss or damage report if required, confirm the current process with the Pension Management Office, former employing authority and paying bank, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Pensioners whose authority, book or identity record is lost or damaged
- Applicants who need to request an official replacement or certified record using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship, pension authority or lawful claimant identity matching the service record
- □ pensioner identity
- □ pension and bank number
- □ old copy or payment proof
- □ loss or damage report if required
- □ Official pension, gratuity, correction, verification or grievance reference
- □ Official pension-office, department or bank statement and receipt
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the Pension Management Office, former employing authority and paying bank is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across pensioner identity, pension and bank number, old copy or payment proof, loss or damage report if required.
- Identify the exact lost document, protect the bank account, obtain the current duplicate form, and verify all details on the replacement.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched pensioner identity, pension and bank number, old copy or payment proof, loss or damage report if required
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- An edited scan or private printout is not an official pension authority.

- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
