So you can get working life “in less than a minute”: this is the Social Security method

The working life is a document that is widely consulted and highly required by citizens, since it includes all the periods of contribution and the types of hours in which the Social Security has been registered in the different jobs that have been played. For that reason, from time to time, the organism remembers how it can be achieved.

Social Security has explained that there is the possibility of obtaining the working life “in less than a minute”, in the ‘Working life and reports’ section and, within it, in the ‘Working life report’ option.

The citizen has the option of obtaining this report via SMS, although for this they need to have their phone number registered in the Social Security database. If you do not have it, you must first use the We Help You platform, where you can .

With the registered telephone number, the citizen only has to click on the ‘via SMS’ access option, through which, after entering the telephone number, date of birth and ID, the system will send them a security code that the worker must type. This system “bases the security of the user’s identification on the user’s knowledge of a series of personal data and on the possession of the mobile device”, .

Once the code is obtained and submitted, you can download the working life report to your device or view it online. It can be requested whenever desired and will reflect the worker’s employment information at the time of downloading the document.

However, the citizen can use several other methods to access the report. You can also get it through Import@ss, but accessing through digital certificate (), and username + password. If none of these methods are available, you can .

For these people without access to the previous methods, there is also another option: request the sending of the work life through postal mail. In this alternative, the citizen’s address must be registered in the Social Security database. If so, with personal data, email, contact data… you can get the work history report.
