How to get uan number by using pf number?
You can find your UAN on the official EPFO Member Portal. On the homepage, look for a link that says "Know your UAN," usually under the 'Important Links' section. You'll first need to enter a mobile number to get an OTP. After that, you can input your details like your name and date of birth. The page will give you the option to identify yourself using your Member ID, which is your PF number. Once you enter the details and verify with another OTP, your UAN will be displayed on the screen. It's a pretty straightforward process.

Some employees face issues because their details don’t match EPFO records. In such cases, you should contact your regional EPFO office. Carry your ID proof, PF number, and employer details. They can help retrieve or generate your UAN. Once you have it, you can link all your future PF accounts under the same UAN, which makes transfers easy when you change jobs.
If you are working in a company, the HR department often helps employees with their UAN. Since they handle salary and PF formalities, they usually provide UAN details along with payslips. So, the easiest way is to ask your employer directly if you don’t want to go through the portal process.
