Overview
What is PENCOM Compliance Certificate?
The National Pension Commission (PenCom) issues a compliance certificate to employers that remit their staff pension contributions and keep the group life insurance the law requires. Public tenders and registration with the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) usually ask for a current one.
On Docufy you enter your employer code, pension fund administrators and group life details, and upload your remittance and employee schedules from your phone. A vetted partner firm checks the pack and files the application, and your certificate lands in your vault as a PDF with a verify link. Tenders usually ask for NSITF and ITF certificates too, and many ask for a tax clearance certificate from the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), formerly FIRS.
Who needs this
Employers bidding for public-sector or large private contracts, registering with the BPP, or renewing last year’s certificate.

Questions
Things people ask about pencom compliance certificate.
Why do tenders ask for a PenCom compliance certificate?
It shows you remit your staff pensions and keep the group life insurance the Pension Reform Act 2014 requires. Public tenders and BPP registration usually ask for a current one, and a bid without it can be disqualified.
What if my company has never registered with PenCom?
You need to register and pay any outstanding contributions before a certificate can be issued. Sort that out first, then start this filing. Email [email protected] if you are not sure where you stand.
How long is the certificate valid?
Tender documents usually ask for certificates valid until 31 December of the bidding year, so most employers renew every year. We email you about two weeks before next year’s certificate is due.
Do I need to visit a PenCom office?
No. There is no office visit. You upload your schedules and pay on your phone, and a vetted partner firm files the application.
