UAN Verification API

UAN (Universal Account Number) verification is a powerful tool for employment background checks and income validation in India. The UAN is a 12-digit number assigned by the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) to every member of the EPF scheme. It acts as a permanent identifier that links all PF accounts of an employee across different employers throughout their career.

digiverification 's UAN Verification API enables businesses to verify an individual's UAN against EPFO records, confirming their employment history, current and previous employers, PF contribution status, and member details. This verification provides reliable, government-sourced employment data that is difficult to fabricate or manipulate.

For HR teams and background verification companies, UAN verification is one of the most reliable methods to confirm a candidate's claimed employment history. Unlike reference checks that depend on subjective feedback, UAN data provides objective, verifiable records of which companies employed the individual, the periods of employment, and the PF contributions made by each employer.

The API returns comprehensive member details including the member's name (as registered with EPFO), date of birth, date of joining the current organization, the establishment name and code, and PF contribution history. This data enables businesses to verify not just current employment but the entire employment timeline.

Lending institutions use UAN verification as part of income assessment for salaried borrowers. PF contribution data serves as a proxy for salary levels — since employer PF contributions are calculated as a percentage of basic salary, the contribution amounts can be used to estimate the borrower's income bracket. This is particularly valuable when borrowers cannot provide salary slips or bank statements.

For gig economy platforms and staffing companies, UAN verification helps distinguish between experienced and inexperienced workers, confirms claimed industry experience, and verifies previous employer relationships.

Insurance companies use UAN data for group insurance policy verification, confirming that the employees listed under a group policy are genuinely employed by the policyholder organization.
