EPFO Name Change Made Easy: How to Update Your Details Directly from the UAN Portal

Dear All,

From today, the EPFO Office has issued a notice that if there are any name corrections, employees can directly make the changes from their UAN portal. The same request will then be sent to the employer, and after validation, the update will be communicated online by the PF Office. There is no need to fill out a Name Change/Correction form.

Thank you.

EPFO Name Correction Process via UAN Portal

🔹 The recent update from the EPFO Office allowing employees to directly correct their names through the UAN portal streamlines the process and eliminates the need for a physical Name Change/Correction form.

🔹 To initiate a name correction through the UAN portal, employees should follow these steps:
1. Log in to their UAN portal using their credentials.
2. Navigate to the 'Manage' section and select 'Modify Basic Details.'
3. Verify and update the correct name details.
4. Submit the changes for validation.

🔹 Once the employee submits the name correction request, the updated information will be forwarded to the employer for validation. After the employer approves the changes, the PF Office will communicate the update online.

🔹 This new process simplifies and expedites the name correction procedure, enhancing efficiency and reducing paperwork for both employees and employers.

🔹 It is advisable for employees to ensure the accuracy of their personal details on the UAN portal to avoid any discrepancies in their PF records.

Note: For any specific queries or assistance regarding the name correction process, individuals can reach out to their HR department or the EPFO helpline for guidance.

Remember, accurate personal information in PF records is crucial for seamless transactions and benefits processing.
