Quick answer
Your UAN is a 12-digit number that links all your PF accounts. Find it on your salary slip, from your employer, or via the EPFO portal's "Know Your UAN" service using your PAN/Aadhaar and a mobile OTP.
Where to find it
- Salary slip / PF statement — the UAN is usually printed there.
- Ask your employer/HR — they allot and know it.
- EPFO portal: go to the Member portal → "Know Your UAN", enter your mobile number, then verify with PAN or Aadhaar and an OTP — the UAN is shown.
- Missed-call / SMS service from your PF-registered mobile also returns UAN details.
Then activate it
Once you have the UAN, activate it on the Member portal and complete KYC (Aadhaar, PAN, bank) — that's what enables online transfers and withdrawals.
