The European Commission has launched a 12-week public consultation on the forthcoming proposal for a European Social Security Pass, which will be part of the Fair labour mobility package. The aim is to simplify how EU citizens moving to or working in other EU countries interact with relevant authorities or service providers in the context of social security. By enabling the secure and quick verification of social security rights and documents via a digital solution, it will reduce paperwork and the risk of errors and fraud.
The public consultation aims to gather insights and feedback on:
- the scale and nature of the problems;
- the objective of the proposed initiative;
- the policy options being considered; and
- their potential impacts, including opportunities for simplification.
We encourage your participation in the consultation and kindly request that you share this information with other relevant stakeholders who may be interested in contributing their views.
The public consultation is open until 16 April 2026 and can be accessed here. The call for evidence, which can be found at the same link, will run until 11 February 2026.
