In summary

You can download and print your UAN card online within a few simple steps.

Requirements for downloading the UAN Card

You need an activated UAN, Member Portal password, internet access, and the captcha displayed during login. OTP verification is not normally required for every Member Portal login. However, an active Aadhaar-linked mobile number may be required for activation, password recovery, and other EPFO services. KYC approval is not compulsory merely for downloading the card. However, verified details support claims, transfers, and other EPFO services.

UAN activation

In 2026, existing members should activate their UAN through UMANG using Aadhaar-based Face Authentication.

The earlier activation facility may no longer appear on the upgraded EPFO Member Portal.

Follow these steps:

1. Install the UMANG and Aadhaar Face RD applications.
2. Open UMANG and select EPFO services.
3. Choose ‘UAN Activation’ under ‘UAN Services Through Face Authentication’.
4. Enter your UAN, Aadhaar details, and Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
5. Verify the OTP received on your mobile.
6. Follow the instructions to complete face authentication.
7. Confirm activation and create your Member Portal password.

Members generating a new UAN should select ‘UAN Allotment and Activation’ through the same UMANG service.

Submission of required documents

You do not need to upload Aadhaar, PAN, or bank documents only for a UAN card download.

However, you should keep these KYC details updated:

• Aadhaar details
• PAN details
• Bank account number
• IFSC
• Name and birth date

Your name and birth date should match across Aadhaar, PAN, bank, and EPFO records. Mismatched information may affect KYC approval, claims, transfers, or online authentication.

The UAN card download process is available through the Unified Member e-Sewa portal.

Steps to download and print the card

1. Visit the official EPFO Unified Member Portal.
2. Enter your UAN, password, and captcha.
3. Click ‘Sign In’ to open your account.
4. Open the ‘View’ menu on the dashboard.
5. Select ‘UAN Card’ from the available options.
6. Review the information displayed on your card.
7. Click ‘Download UAN Card’ or the PDF icon.
8. Save the PDF on your device.
9. Open the downloaded PDF and select ‘Print’.

10. Choose your printer and complete the printing process.

    
    

You may also use the ‘Download UAN Card’ service available through UMANG. A physical copy is optional. You can keep the PDF on a secure device for future use.

The exact appearance may change after portal updates. However, the card commonly displays:

• Employee’s 12-digit UAN
• Employee’s full name
• Father’s or husband’s name
• KYC status
• QR code
• Card generation or download date

The UAN card does not display your complete contribution history or current EPF balance. Check the card before saving it. Report incorrect personal details through the available EPFO profile-correction process.

How to contact EPFO?

You can call EPFO’s contact centre at 14470 for questions about EPF, pension, EDLI, or UAN services. The official EPFO passbook portal also displays 1800 118 005 as its helpdesk number.

For a written complaint, use the EPFiGMS grievance portal. You can register, track, or send reminders for a grievance. Keep your UAN and grievance registration number ready. Never share your password, Aadhaar OTP, or bank OTP with anyone. You can learn more about the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation and UAN.

To file any complaints regarding your EPF UAN, you can contact EPFO's customer care executives at their toll-free UAN Helpdesk number – 1800 118 005. You can also write down your complaint at their mail id employeefeedback@epfindia.gov.in

Why doesn't my UAN card show my Aadhaar or PAN details?

Your UAN card may display only the overall KYC status instead of complete Aadhaar or PAN numbers. EPFO limits the display of sensitive details for security purposes. If your KYC status shows ‘No’ or ‘Pending’, open ‘Manage’ and select ‘KYC’ on the Member Portal. Check whether your Aadhaar, PAN, and bank details are seeded and approved. Correct any name or birth-date mismatch before requesting verification. Download the card again after the updated status appears.

Conclusion

Your UAN card provides quick access to your permanent EPFO identification number and current KYC status. Saving the card digitally can support employment changes, EPFO enquiries, and account verification. A printed card is optional. Never write your password or OTP on the printed copy. EPF supports retirement savings through employment contributions. Separate savings can provide another source of retirement income.
