This service enables you to apply for a widow’s or widower’s pension, included within the scope of EU Regulations or a Bilateral Agreement, via the Electronic Register.

About this procedure

Who it is aimed at

For those individuals wishing to apply for orphanhood benefits in cases where the deceased originator was covered by Community Regulations or a Bilateral Social Security Agreement.

What does it allow you to do

  • Download and attach an application form.
  • Attach documentation.

What you need to do it

  • Fill in and attach the application form.
  • Attach copies of all documents detailed in the instructions.
  • Have software that enables you to fill in and save the application form to be attached.

To be taken into account

If you access with User + Password (permanent Cl@ve), in order to guarantee a higher level of security, a code will be sent via SMS to the mobile phone number you declared during the registration process, which you must enter in order to be able to sign the communication in the electronic register.

The total size of the documents to be attached must not exceed 10 Mb.

The application form was initially designed to be submitted in paper at the Regional INSS Office, so there are references that do not correspond to the online service.

If you are acting as a representative, you must attach the standard form of representation, which appears in the attached documentation section, or any other legally valid document that provides reliable proof of representation.

The processing province is the one to which you wish to submit your application. The remarks section should only be completed when an application form is not attached.

Please note that there is a time limit on the online session and if this expires while you are completing the form, you will have to start a new session and complete any parts of the form that were not yet completed.

Next steps

You will receive an "acknowledgement of receipt" in PDF format once you have completed the procedure.

If you do not receive the confirmation message, or if you receive an error or failed sending message, you should resubmit the application at another time or use other means.

The INSS will send the resolution of the application to the address of the interested party.

To access this service check you have the necessary technical requirements.
