UAN Activation and EPFO Login in 2026: UMANG Face Auth

Last reviewed: 13 August 2026.

You need your UAN, Aadhaar details, access to the mobile linked with Aadhaar, the UMANG app and the Aadhaar Face RD component required by the app. Check that your name and date of birth in EPFO are capable of matching Aadhaar. Use only official app-store listings and official EPFO links.

1. Open UMANG and select EPFO Services.
2. Open UAN Services Through Face Auth.
3. Choose UAN Activation for an existing UAN.
4. Enter the requested UAN, Aadhaar and mobile details, give informed consent and validate the OTP.
5. Complete the live face capture when prompted.
6. Save the success message and UAN card or confirmation.

For a new worker who has no UAN, UMANG has a separate UAN Allotment and Activation service. Do not create a second UAN merely because an old UAN will not activate.

Open the official member interface directly from EPFO. Set a unique password and verify the mobile shown. After login, check profile data, member IDs, KYC status, employment dates, nominee and passbook. Do not share screenshots containing Aadhaar, UAN, bank account or OTP.

If the face match fails, check lighting, camera permission, Aadhaar Face RD installation and the Aadhaar-linked mobile. If identity data conflicts, use EPFO's profile-correction process rather than repeated random attempts.

Call EPFO helpdesk 14470 for assistance. If the issue persists, file at EPFiGMS with the UAN, error screenshot, date/time, device and exact service selected. EPFO's contact page asks members to email [email protected] only when an EPFiGMS grievance is pending more than 15 days or its quality is unsatisfactory, quoting the grievance reference.

The current member portal notice says that facility has been discontinued and directs existing members to UMANG Aadhaar Face Authentication.

No. Use activation for the existing UAN. Multiple UANs can complicate service history and claims.

No. The service is designed for members and EPFO warns people to use official portals and free services.
