Your affiliation certificates and wage statements now feature a GouvCheck QR code

From Wednesday 9 October 2024, all affiliation certificates and wage statements issued by the Social Security Centre (CCSS) will carry a QR code that can be used to check the authenticity of the certificate via the GouvCheck app.

The benefits of GouvCheck

• The GouvCheck app can be installed on a smartphone or tablet.
• Verification is simple, fast and accessible at any time without the need for an Internet connection.
• If you have any doubts about the authenticity of a certificate, you can scan the QR code to obtain the official information directly.

IMPORTANT : Verification via the GouvCheck app is used to confirm the authenticity of a certificate and not to reproduce the certificate in its entirety.

For example, if more than three affiliations are displayed on the affiliation certificate, only the last three affiliations will be included in the GouvCheck QR code. The same applies to wage statements covering more than three different periods: only the income for the last three periods will be displayed for each of the three income categories on the certificate.

What is the aim of this initiative?

As a public organisation, the CCSS is committed to offering its users increasingly secure and transparent services. The aim of this initiative is to make it possible to verify the authenticity of all certificates issued by the CCSS to users and thus protect them from possible attempts at fraud or forgery.

How can you check the authenticity of your certificates?

• Download the GouvCheck app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
• Open the app on your smartphone or tablet.
• Scan the QR code of the document whose authenticity you want to check.
• The app will tell you whether the QR code is valid, so you can check whether the details on the document match those displayed by the app.
