Find your lost and old pensions
If you've moved jobs during your working life, you may have lost track of some of the pension schemes for previous companies you've worked for. You can contact previous employers and pension providers to get the details of these, although this can be time-consuming.
Our pension tracing service can help you find old and forgotten pensions from previous employers, and only takes about 4 to 16 weeks.
You just need to tell us the name of your pension, or the company you worked for and then for a fee of £100 we'll do all the hard work for you and find out how much you have saved, and where.
Before you go any further
Legal & General Personal Pension customers can access our pension tracing service without having to pay the £100 fee. Check if our Personal Pension is right for you or, if you already have a Personal Pension with us, login to your account for more information.
Can I trace my own pensions?
You can use the Government's Pension Tracing Service and contact your previous employers and pension providers yourself. This can be time-consuming, especially if you have a number of previous jobs.
For a one-off fee of £100, we'll do the hard work for you.
