If you need a notarial service for documents such as powers of attorney and sworn statements, please keep in mind that the name on the document to be notarized should be the same as on your identification. You must come in person. Passports, driver's licenses, and Chilean identification cards are acceptable evidence of identity. The Consular Section is responsible for distributing federal pension checks for the Social Security Administration, Veterans Administration and Civil Service. These checks are usually mailed around the 12 th of each month depending on their date of arrival at the Embassy.
Most checks reach the beneficiary by mid-month.
We urge beneficiaries inquiring about their checks to call only after the 20 th of each month. Beneficiaries inquiring personally about a pension related matter should bring along any available information to enable consular staff to provide better service.
