To qualify for retirement, everyone must total their insured days and wait until reaching the required age. You can find the number of days needed for retirement on your service statement (hizmet dökümü). Traditionally, obtaining an SGK service statement required visiting a Social Security Institution provincial directorate, which is time-consuming and creates unnecessary workloads for both you and staff. If you are wondering how to check the pension fund (emekli sandığı) service statement, read on for clear, practical guidance.
The e-Government (e-Devlet) platform has been adapted so you can access your SGK records online. Log in to e-Devlet with your Turkish ID number (T.C. kimlik) and password to reach the available services. If you do not know your password, you can request one at the nearest PTT branch by presenting your ID. Alternatively, you can sign in with an electronic signature. Once logged in, go to the e-Services section and select the Social Security Institution (Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu). From the options shown, choose “SGK registration and service statement” (SGK tescil ve hizmet dökümü). The page displays your SGK details and lets you perform the necessary checks. Queries for 4A, 4B and 4C service statements are also available through e-Devlet. In accordance with Law No. 657, civil servant service statements (memur hizmet dökümü) can be viewed via e-Devlet as well.
If you still do not have an e-Devlet password, you may not be aware of this quick and reliable solution. Obtaining the password at a PTT branch will simplify your procedures and save time. This option is recommended for anyone who has not yet used it.
Note that service periods prior to 2004 are not always fully accessible through the e-Devlet system. Records from 2004 onwards are typically available with monthly detail. If you cannot view certain information online, visit the nearest Social Security Institution Provincial Directorate and request the specific service statement details you need. Staff there can help retrieve or clarify older records that do not appear in the e-Devlet view.
