Verify a Udyam certificate, or find your own Udyam number
Udyam is the free MSME registration. On the official portal check a URN for free, or recover your own URN by OTP on mobile. No public search by PAN or name.
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
- To verify a certificate: the URN (Udyam Registration Number), which looks like UDYAM-MH-00-0000000. It is printed on the certificate.
- To recover your own number: the mobile number (or email) you used when you registered. The OTP (one-time password) comes there.
- A phone or computer with internet. You will type a picture code (captcha).
What to do on the official page
- Open the official portal: udyamregistration.gov.in. The real site ends in .gov.in and is free. Many look-alike sites charge money; close them.
- To verify a certificate: in the top menu, point to 'Print / Verify' and click 'Verify Udyam Registration Number'.
- Type the full number in the 'Udyam Registration Number' box, exactly as printed, with the dashes: UDYAM-MH-00-0000000.
- Type the picture code in the captcha box and click 'Verify'.
- Read the result: enterprise name, type (micro, small or medium), main activity, date of registration and whether it is active. Compare the name with the certificate you were shown.
- To get back your own number: in the top menu, point to 'Print / Verify' and click 'Forgot Udyam/UAM No.'.
- Choose 'Udyam Registration Number'. (Choose 'Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum' only if you registered before July 2020 and never moved to Udyam.)
- Choose how to get the OTP: 'Mobile' or 'Email'. Type the mobile number or email you used at registration (for most people, the mobile linked to Aadhaar).
- Click 'Validate & Generate OTP'. Type the OTP from your phone or email in the box and click 'Validate OTP'. Never tell this OTP to anyone, not even to us.
- The screen lists the Udyam number(s) registered with that mobile or email. Write it down. To print the certificate, go to 'Print / Verify' > 'Print Udyam Certificate' and use the same OTP method.
What the result means
The portal shows: Verify: the enterprise name, type and date are shown and the status is active.
It means: The certificate is genuine and live. The name on screen is the registered business.
What to do next: Nothing more. If the name does not match the paper you were shown, the paper is not that business's certificate.
The portal shows: Verify: 'Invalid Udyam Registration Number' or no details.
It means: The number was typed wrong, or no such registration exists.
What to do next: Check the dashes and digits and try again. If your own business has no Udyam yet, register yourself; it is free on the official portal. Our free Udyam guide shows each step. Udyam Registration →
The portal shows: Forgot number: your Udyam number appears after the OTP.
It means: You are registered. This is your URN; banks, GeM and scheme forms ask for it.
What to do next: Print the certificate from 'Print / Verify' > 'Print Udyam Certificate' and keep a PDF copy on your phone.
The portal shows: Forgot number: 'OTP not received' or 'No record found' for your mobile.
It means: A different mobile or email was used at registration, or the registration was never completed.
What to do next: Try the email option, or the old mobile if you still have it. If nothing works, visit your District Industries Centre (DIC) with Aadhaar and PAN (tax card number); they can look up and update the registration. Do not pay anyone who promises to 'find your Udyam by PAN'.
The portal shows: Forgot number: only an old 'UAM' (Udyog Aadhaar) number appears.
It means: You had the pre-2020 registration and never migrated. Old UAM numbers stopped being valid after 30 June 2022.
What to do next: Register afresh on the Udyam portal as a new entrepreneur. It is free; our free Udyam guide shows each step. Udyam Registration →
Frequently asked questions
Can I find a Udyam number from a PAN or a business name?
No. The official portal has no public search by PAN or name. Only the registered mobile or email, with an OTP, gets the number back. Websites that offer 'Udyam by PAN' use private paid data; FormSathi does not.
Is there a fee to verify or recover the number?
No. Everything on udyamregistration.gov.in is free, including registration and the certificate. FormSathi charges nothing for Udyam either: this guide is free.
My mobile number has changed. How do I get the OTP?
Try the email option first. Otherwise go to your District Industries Centre (DIC) with Aadhaar and PAN and ask them to update the mobile in your Udyam record. Then recover the number online.
What does a Udyam number look like?
UDYAM, then the state code, then two digits, then seven digits: UDYAM-MH-00-0000000. MH is Maharashtra. An old Udyog Aadhaar number was 12 digits starting with MH.
Can one PAN have two Udyam numbers?
No. One PAN gets one Udyam registration; several branches or activities are added inside it. If the portal says a registration already exists on your PAN, recover that number instead of registering again.
