It turns out that the most Import@nt thing about Social Security. There, if you have your at the moment in a PDF. It’s super quick. You can view your work history in full or just for certain years. With your mobile phone, things go through a, and they can also send you the work history certificate by prior appointment as such, you have to go and see if they’ll attend to you. That’s where I got a bit lost: if what you need is a prior appointment with the INSS (which is another body) for other things, like pensions, then yes, there is a work history phone number, this one is more with the Treasury. The social security information is that it’s a maze of different offices.
One thing I saw is that if your mobile phone isn’t registered with them, you won’t be able to use the SMS method. You have to register it beforehand on their website, entering your ID and even a selfie. By the way, the work history certificate or work history report (it’s the same thing) can be requested by anyone who has ever been registered. It serves to see your entire work history: every company, every registration and deregistration, the days contributed. It’s key to checking whether everything you’ve worked is properly recorded.
Summing up the mess:
- If you have a DNIe, Cl@ve or registered mobile phone: Go to Import@ss and download work history via SMS or with your key instantly. That’s the ideal.
- If you don’t have any of that: You can request your work history on the same website to have it sent by mail (in a few days) or call the phone number to request your work history for the same thing.
- Go in person: It’s the last option. To the Treasury office, not just any office, and without an appointment. Better to call first at the social security phone number to request an appointment. . . no, wait, there’s no appointment for this. Better to call the social security information line (901 50 20 50) to ask if they do it at your office.
What surprised me most is that this work history record doesn’t include jobs abroad or military service. And that you can request it be sent home from the website, but again, only if your address in their database is perfect. To view your work history properly, or to download your work history quickly, you need to have all your data updated with social security. If not, you have to do that procedure first.
Thank goodness I looked into everything before making a move. What could be a simple work history report turns into an obstacle course depending on whether or not you have digital documents. A tip from someone who has burned their eyelashes looking into this: if you can, get the digital certificate or register with Cl@ve. You’ll save yourself a world of trouble for this and other procedures. Your work history is yours, but accessing it sometimes seems like a state secret.
