Application Procedure for AOW Voluntary Insurance from Rotterdam

The application for AOW voluntary insurance from Rotterdam is handled via the Social Insurance Bank (SVB). Rotterdam emigrants can download the 'Voluntary AOW Insurance' form from svb.nl and complete it with passport, proof of address from the Rotterdam BRP, and income details. Submit it within three months after emigration to the Rotterdam municipal archive or directly to the SVB to prevent gaps in your pension accrual. Send by post to SVB Postbus 52313, 1202 DE Hilversum, or digitally via Mijn SVB with DigiD – ideal for Rotterdam residents with a DigiD from the municipality. The SVB will assess your application within eight weeks and send a decision by post to your Rotterdam address or new foreign address. In case of rejection, lodge an objection within six weeks, possibly with assistance from a Rotterdam legal counter advisor. For urgent matters, call the SVB information line +31 20 633 55 33 or consult the Rotterdam SVB partner points in the city. Always keep copies. After approval, you will receive an annual premium assessment; pay easily via iDEAL or bank transfer. Report changes such as new address, income, or return to Rotterdam directly to the SVB and update your BRP with the Municipality of Rotterdam. In case of relocation within the EU, you retain rights via the Rotterdam registration. This procedure, tailored to Rotterdam expats from the port city, ensures continuity of your AOW rights without interruptions.
