The European Union E-Forms

Citizens of EU countries travelling to or living, working or retiring in another EU country have the same rights as the citizens of that country. However, in order to ensure access to those rights it may be necessary to provide documentation. 

In certain circumstances (for example when being hired for a job or registering as a student or pensioner) you may be asked to provide an "E-Form". An E-Form is obtained from the EU country of previous residence and submitted to the new EU country of residence. Here is a simple guide to these forms and the subjects they relate to. 

The European Union E-Forms

• E 104: aggregation of periods of insurance in the Member States if a paying-in period is required for entitlement
• E 106: registration in the country of residence
• E 109: certificate for the enrolment of family members who live in a Member State other than that where the employed or self-employed person resides
• E 111: emergency benefits during a temporary stay (as regards pensioners and the members of their family: necessary benefits) 
  Note: As of 1 June 2004 the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) has replaced the E 111 form.
  • For information on the EHIC, see the AngloINFO INFOrmation Page, the European Union Health Card
• E 119: entitlement to necessary health care and benefits in kind for unemployed persons looking for employment in another Member State
• E 121: entitlement to public health care for pensioners or those receiving long-term incapacity benefit
• E 128: entitlement to necessary benefits in kind for posted workers and self-employed persons, members of their families and students.
