Every person who contributes to the EPF is issued a 12-digit unique number called a Universal Account Number. EPFO will assign you a UAN (Universal Account Number). The UAN will serve as a central repository for all of an individual’s member IDs issued by various organisations/companies.
The UAN will remain the same throughout an employee’s career, regardless of how many positions he or she holds.
