In Benin, officials have verified the continued life of 15,189 pensioners from the Fonds National des Retraites du Bénin (FNRB) as of October 21, 2026.
The FNRB launched a campaign on October 15 allowing retirees, both within Benin and abroad, to prove they are still alive remotely. Pensioners can use the “Preuve de Vie” application, available on the Play Store and App Store, by entering their personal identification number and pension book number.
The application uses the device’s camera to scan fingerprints, and then sends confirmation via SMS, email, or WhatsApp. Alternatively, pensioners can visit biometric kiosks in public spaces and use their national biometric identity cards to complete the process. The campaign will continue to November 15, 2026, allowing retirees ample time to complete the necessary steps.
