With most EPF services now available online, keeping your UAN card handy has become more important than ever. The UAN card download facility lets members quickly access their Universal Account Number, verify employment-linked details, update KYC, check their EPF passbook, and submit claims through the UAN Member Portal, making provident fund management simpler and more transparent.
It is especially useful when changing jobs, as the same UAN remains linked to multiple EPF member IDs across employers. Downloading and saving your UAN card also helps you access essential EPF information quickly whenever required, without relying on physical documents.
Requirements for downloading the UAN Card
Before downloading the UAN card, employees must ensure that their Universal Account Number (UAN) is active and linked with valid personal details in the EPFO records. The registered mobile number should remain active to receive OTP verification during login. Employees should also keep important documents such as Aadhaar, PAN, and bank account details updated and verified on the EPFO portal. Proper KYC verification helps avoid login or download-related issues while accessing the UAN card online through the official EPFO member portal.
UAN activation

- UAN activation generally requires details such as UAN number, registered mobile number, Aadhaar, and OTP verification.
- The mobile number linked with EPFO records should remain active for authentication purposes.
After successful activation, employees can log in to the EPFO portal and access services such as passbook viewing, claim status tracking, and UAN card download.
Submission of required documents

- Accurate document submission helps prevent verification delays and login-related issues while downloading the UAN card.
