e-Shram card: check and download
See if you are registered on e-Shram and download your own UAN card free on the official e-Shram website, with the mobile linked to your Aadhaar.
Free on the official page. Your own numbers only. We have no automated link to any government portal, use no private data services, and never store the result.
What you need
- The mobile phone linked to your Aadhaar. An OTP (one-time code sent to your phone) comes to it.
- Your own UAN (12-digit e-Shram number), if you have it. You can also start with your mobile number.
- Your date of birth, as in your Aadhaar.
What to do on the official page
- Open the e-Shram website (the button on this page). Pick your language. Click 'Go to Main Page'.
- In the 'Already Registered' menu, choose 'Update Profile using Aadhaar'. Some screens show 'Update' or 'Login'.
- Type your Aadhaar-linked mobile number, or your UAN and date of birth. Type the picture code (captcha). Click 'Send OTP'.
- Type the OTP from your phone yourself. If the page asks, also type the Aadhaar OTP.
- Your profile opens. Click 'Download UAN Card' to save the card as a PDF file. Check your name, mobile, address and bank details.
- If something is wrong or old, change it and click 'Save' or 'Update'. Then download the card again.
What the result means
The portal shows: Your profile opens, with your name and UAN.
It means: You are registered on e-Shram. Your UAN stays the same for life.
What to do next: Download the UAN card and keep it safe. Keep your mobile, address, job and bank details up to date.
The portal shows: Not registered, or no record found for this number.
It means: You are not on e-Shram yet, or you registered with a different mobile number.
What to do next: Try your other number or your UAN. If you never registered, register free on the same website or at a CSC (Common Service Centre, a village or town help centre).
The portal shows: The OTP does not come, or this mobile is not linked to Aadhaar.
It means: e-Shram can only send the code to the mobile linked to your Aadhaar. Your number may be old or closed.
What to do next: Wait a few minutes and try once more. If it still fails, go to a CSC or State Seva Kendra. They can sign you in with your fingerprint.
The portal shows: You are already registered (when you try to register again).
It means: You already have a UAN. One person gets only one UAN.
What to do next: Do not register again. Use 'Update Profile using Aadhaar' (steps above) to open your profile and download the card.
The portal shows: Not eligible: you pay income tax, or you are in the PF or ESIC scheme.
It means: e-Shram is for unorganised workers aged 16 to 59 who do not pay income tax and are not members of PF (Provident Fund) or ESIC (workers' health insurance) through a job.
What to do next: If this is wrong, for example you left that job, call the free helpline 14434 or raise a complaint on the e-Shram website.
The portal shows: The card shows a wrong name, old mobile or old address.
It means: Your details on e-Shram are not current. The name comes from your Aadhaar.
What to do next: Change the mobile, address, job or bank in your profile and click 'Save' or 'Update'. For a wrong name, fix it in Aadhaar first. Then download the card again.
Frequently asked questions
Is e-Shram free?
Yes. Registering, updating and downloading the card are free. You do not have to pay anyone, not even a centre that registers you.
Does the e-Shram card expire?
No. The card never expires and needs no renewal. Just keep your details up to date.
I changed my mobile number. How do I open my profile?
Use 'Update Profile using Aadhaar' with the mobile now linked to your Aadhaar. If your Aadhaar has no working mobile, go to a CSC or State Seva Kendra to update it with your fingerprint.
Does e-Shram pay me money?
Not by itself. e-Shram is a national list of unorganised workers. The government uses it to reach workers with schemes. Never pay anyone who promises money for the card.
Can I check or download someone else's card?
No. This page is only for your own card, with the code sent to your own phone. A family member must do it on their own phone.
Can FormSathi do it for me?
There is no paid help for this check. It is free on e-Shram. For help, call the free e-Shram helpline 14434, 9 am to 6 pm, every day.
