International information days organised by BDZ
If you have been covered by social insurance in the Netherlands and/or Germany and you have questions about the Dutch state pension (AOW), the German state pension (Rente) or any other social insurance schemes, you can register for one of the international information days hosted by the Deutsche Rentenversicherung (DRV).
Representatives from both the Bureau for German Affairs (BDZ) and the DRV will be present at the information days to answer your questions.
