Frequently asked questions

What is the employment record used for?
The employment record is a document that certifies all your contributions to Social Security throughout your professional career. You need it to calculate your retirement pension, apply for unemployment benefits, request a mortgage loan, justify work experience to an employer, or process residency in another country.
When should I present the updated employment record?
Many procedures require that the employment record be less than 3 months old. As it is immediate and free, it's always better to download it on the same day you need it to ensure it is up-to-date.
What do I do if there are missing periods in my employment record?
If you notice that a contribution period is missing or there is an error, you can claim by presenting your employment contracts, pay stubs, or any other document that proves the work relationship. Visit the Social Security office in your province or request it through Importass.
Can I request another person's employment record?
No, unless you are their legal representative (guardian, attorney with notarized powers). The employment record contains protected personal data and can only be accessed by the holder or someone with powers.
Does the digital copy of the report have the same validity as a printed one?
Yes. The PDF downloaded from Importass has exactly the same legal validity as a physical certificate. It includes the CSV verification code that any authority can use to check its authenticity online.
