The Shandong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security has officially implemented the electronic retirement certificate for enterprise employees (provincial level) in accordance with the "Implementation Plan for Digital Government Construction in Shandong Province" and the initiative to build a "Proof-Free Province."

**Eligibility and Application** Starting December 1, 2025, retirees under the provincial-level enterprise employee basic pension insurance program, who hold a social security card and have normal pension payment status, can apply for the electronic retirement certificate.

**Certificate Design and Key Information** 1. **"Love Shandong" APP Display**: - The certificate features a watermark design based on the third-generation social security card, with added SDHRSS patterns. - The title "Electronic Retirement Certificate" is in Huawen Zhong Song font, while the body text uses Song font. - Information includes the retiree’s name, gender, ID number, retirement date (year and month), and an official seal of the Shandong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security. - Notes clarify that the certificate confirms eligibility for pension benefits and specifies the retirement date as the time when pension entitlement conditions were met.
