Activate UAN
Understand the current UAN-activation route, prepare matching identity details and avoid creating a disconnected member record.
Dear EPF members.
Current notices and record checks to read before starting.
Use UMANG for UAN activation
Activation of an existing UAN and generation of a new UAN now continue through the UMANG app. This guide explains that sequence before you leave the prototype.
Benefits for unorganised workers registering on e-SHRAM
Review the connected social-security information before registering so the worker record and available benefit routes remain clear.
Important notice about EDLI
Review EDLI coverage and nominee readiness together with the member record before a family-benefit claim is needed.
Confirm whether a UAN already exists
Recover and reuse the UAN connected to your employment record. A second UAN can split service history and delay later claims or transfers.
Complete nomination during service
Review nomination readiness while your member record is active so eligible family-benefit paths are not left unclear.
Prepare the right records.
Keep sensitive values out of this prototype.
- Aadhaar details that match the EPFO member record
- A mobile number available for the supported verification path
- Name, date of birth and gender checked before starting
