Ukrainians who have reached the age of 60 and have the necessary experience can apply for a pension online in Ukraine and while abroad. You can apply for a pension at any time after reaching the required age. We tell you how to submit documents for registration of a pension online.

Pay attention! If you submit an application for an old-age pension within three months after reaching retirement age, it will be granted from the day after your birthday. (That is, if you turned 60 years old on May 5, then you need to submit the documents no later than August 5 so that it will be appointed from May 6).

If the application is submitted after the expiration of three months after reaching the retirement age, then the pension will be assigned from the date of application.
