@ ph-b, thank you very much for your explanation. After further research, I did finally come across the following website, which provides an explanation that corroborates your suggestion: https://igas.gouv.fr/IMG/pdf/IGAS_2017-010R_.pdf (see 'Encadré 2'). So I did go with your suggestion of 'pension assessment', but am unable to award you any points as you only posted a comment. If you would like to post your suggestion as a proposed translation, I will accept it :-)

régularisation is not just about "updating" or "filling-out"; that would be compléter. It's also about CNAV checking the information available and ensuring that laws and regulations are applied, esp. where one's entitlement to a pension is concerned. CNAV does this, not the insured. RÉGULARISATION : Action de rendre quelque chose conforme à la règle, à une règle à posteriori. (https://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/régularisation) More particularly in the context of CNAV: Une demande de régularisation de carrière consiste à étudier l'exactitude des données reportées sur la carrière d'un assuré afin de corriger, le cas échéant, les informations erronées. (https://opendata.carsat-pl.fr/menu-retraite/carrieres/item/4... Not sure about an official English equivalent. I was thinking of something like "(pension) assessment", but it sounds like the next stage.

Thanks Tony; that is indeed how I understand it, but I'm afraid that I don't know whether there is an official English equivalent.

@ Asker Well, it means that the person has now supplied further information that has enabled the pension body to complete their work record to date — i.e. fill in the blanks, etc. This means that although you are usually granted the minimum pension, once your record is complete, you may get a bit more.
