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).
