How To Activate UAN To Access EPFO Online Services: Check Required Documents And Facilities

Universal Account Number (UAN) is a unique 12-digit number assigned to every EPFO member, serving as a unified identifier for multiple EPF Member IDs allotted to an individual. 

The platform enables members to update their name, date of birth, and gender, ensuring their records are accurate. Adding further, members have the ability to independently update their KYC details, facilitating a smooth transfer of PF accumulation from previous employment.

Aadhaar-based online claim submission further streamlines the process, while the option to enter the date of exit from service enhances convenience, allowing for hassle-free management of PF accounts. 

To activate the UAN, members must provide their UAN, Aadhaar number, name, and date of birth as per EPFO records. It is essential to have a valid mobile number linked to the Aadhaar as per UIDAI records.

Additionally further, the Aadhaar number, name, and date of birth entered must match the details on the member's Aadhaar card to ensure successful activation. 

Step 1: Visit the EPF Member Portal at https://unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/ and click on "Activate UAN." 

Select one option: UAN, Member ID, Aadhaar, or PAN. 

Fill in details such as Name, Date of Birth, Mobile Number, and Email ID, then click on "Get Authorization PIN."  

An authorization PIN will be sent to the registered mobile number. Enter this PIN and click on "Validate OTP and Activate UAN."  

Once validated, the UAN will be activated, and the password will be sent to the member's mobile. (Image Credit: Freepik)
