Since 1 February 2012, the Istituto Nazionale della Previdenza Sociale (INPS) has partnered with Citi to provide pension benefit payments for pensioners abroad.

Address via phone / email no longer accepted

For security reasons, Citi can no longer accept change of address requests via email or phone.

If you need to update your address, please contact your local INPS branch.

To guarantee uninterrupted receipt of your Citi forms and to prevent any potential interruptions in your pension payments, all pensioners living outside of Italy are strongly reminded to:

• Regularize your residency status at your local Italian consular offices.
• Italian citizens abroad: please ensure you are registered with AIRE (Anagrafe Italiani Residenti all’Estero).

By taking these steps, you can help us ensure that your essential documents reach you promptly and your pension payments continue without interruption.

First proof of life campaign 2026

The first Proof of Life campaign 2026 for pensioners residing in America, Asia, Scandinavia, and East Europe started in March and ends in July.
