How to activate or retrieve your UAN via Umang’s facial verification

If your UAN is still inactive, download the Umang app on your smartphone, open the EPFO Services section and select “UAN Services through Face Authentication.” Follow the on‑screen prompts to capture a live facial scan linked to your Aadhaar. Once the verification succeeds, your UAN will be activated instantly. The same workflow applies to generating a new UAN or recovering a forgotten one; simply provide your registered mobile number, upload required identity documents and validate the OTP sent to your phone.
