Before digging deep to understand what a UAN Procedure involves, it is good to have a brief understanding of what UAN is all about. There have been many false definitions of what a UAN number is and how to check UAN Status is it activated or not.

What is UAN (Universal Account Number)?
A Universal Account Number normally abbreviated as (UAN) can simply be defined as a 12-digit identification number given to all contributors of Employee Provident Fund which is abbreviated as (EPF). A Universal Account Number is generated by the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization also known as EPFO. The main reason why the UAN was created was simply to give EPF member an easy identification in case they changed an employer or a job.

UAN is a 12 digit number that every employer used to get who contribute to the EPF account. The Employee Provident Fund gives it. The Universal Account Number stays the same throughout life, even if you change the job. Whenever you change the position, you will get the new identification number. It connected to the UAN. You can ask for the unique member ID by submitting the UAN to the new employer. Once you get the member ID, then it connects to the UAN number.
