EPFO or Employees' Provident Fund Organisation has introduced the Universal Account Number (UAN) for all EPFO members. This UAN is a 12-digit number that each EPF passbook or EPF account holder is allotted. This UAN remains constant throughout an employees’ professional life. In case the employee changes job, he or she is allotted a new member ID under EPF, however, UAN remains the same.

Once an EPFO subscriber's mobile number is registered with its UAN, all SMS communication by the EPFO will be carried out through this number. It is mandatory for new EPFO members to register their mobile number when signing up for the first time with the EPFO portal — epfindia.gov.in. It is also very easy to change mobile number in an EPF account by visiting the UAN member portal — unifiedportal-mem.epfindia.gov.in/memberinterface/ or EPFO official website epfindia.gov.in.
