Emergency 24/7 ↗Germany and Türkiye
A dedicated focus: pension matters connecting Germany and Türkiye.
Did you work in Germany before moving to Türkiye, or do you live in Germany with additional Turkish insurance periods? Include both parts of your history in your document overview.
Preparation for your situation
The bilateral social security agreement may be relevant to eligibility. The competent institution must determine how it applies to your circumstances. Bilingual documents and name spellings need careful matching.
What would you like help with?
We assist with document and form preparation and separately agreed translations where needed. For residents of Türkiye, the competent institution in the country of residence is generally the starting point for an application.
A private service by İRİM in Türkiye. We are not a public authority or a branch of Deutsche Rentenversicherung. The competent pension institution decides on pension entitlements.

Speak with our team ↗Germany and Türkiye: organise both sides of your pension file
Start with one timeline showing where you lived, worked and received official correspondence. An organised file makes unanswered document questions easier to identify.
Keep insurance periods distinct
Coordinating periods for an eligibility assessment does not mean that all contributions are transferred into one German account. The responsible institutions assess the individual case. Record German and Turkish insurance references separately.
Prepare your file in four steps
1. Find your German insurance record. 2. Match Turkish insurance documents to the relevant periods. 3. Put employment, education and changes of residence in chronological order. 4. List spelling differences and missing months as questions rather than filling gaps by guesswork.
Applying while living in Türkiye
The responsible SGK office is generally the starting point for residents of Türkiye. An enquiry to Rentenanspruch.com does not replace an official application or preserve an official deadline. Keep application receipts separately.
Choose support after identifying the task
A 99 EUR document check may suit an initial review of existing letters. The agreed application preparation package costs 499 EUR; application preparation with follow-up costs 799 EUR. Prices include taxes. Translation and authority fees require separate agreement. Confirm scope before commissioning.
