A Proof of Life document (also commonly known as a Letter or Existence or a Certificate of Life) is a formal document that an individual is required to have completed with an authorized witness (consular officer, barrister / lawyer, notary public) that confirms that the subject individual was alive at the time the certificate was signed and witnessed.

The primary purpose of a Proof of Life document is to prevent fraud (where the recipient individual is actually dead), particularly in situations involving financial benefits:

  • Pensions and Annuities from foreign countries: Governments, pension funds, and insurance companies often require beneficiaries (especially those living abroad) to periodically submit a Proof of Life document. This ensures that payments continue only to individuals who are still alive, preventing overpayment of benefits to deceased individuals.

  • Other Benefits: It may be required for other financial benefits or entitlements where proof of continued existence (life) is necessary.
