A Certificate of Life (also called a Certificate of Existence, Letter of Existence, Life Certificate, Proof of Life) is a certificate produced by a trusted entity to confirm that an individual was alive at the time of its creation. Governments, pension and insurance companies and other bodies may need to check periodically that the people they are paying have not died in order that they do not overpay annuities and pensions.
