How to correct/update date of birth in EPF online?

You need to make sure your date of birth (DOB) details are the same in the Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) records and the Aadhaar database. If there is a mismatch then, when you make an EPF withdrawal claim, there could be a delay.

The process to rectify the mismatch is simple.

According to the tweet by EPFO, EPF members can update by submitting Aadhaar or e-Aadhaar on the Unified Member Portal if the difference in DOB is less than 3 years.


If the difference is more than 3years, submit Aadhaar/e-Aadhaar along with following documents on the Unified Member Portal:-

• Any school/education certificate
• Birth certificate issued by Registrar of Birth and Deaths
• Passport
• Certificate-based on service records from central/state government organisations
• Any reliable documents issued by government departments like Driving License, ESIC card, etc.
• Medical certificate issued by Civil surgeon after examining the member

Follow these steps to update DoB online with the EPFO
Step 1: Login at the Unified Portal website of the EPFO using your UAN and password.

Step 2: Click ‘Basic details’ under ‘Manage’
Step 3: Enter the correct details as per Aadhaar
Note: The system will cross-check the information entered with UIDAI-Aadhaar Data.
Step 4: Tick the box of consent permission
Step 5: Click on ‘Update’

On the next page, you will see 'Pending by Employer,' along with other information like the reference number, current status, and other details. Inform your employer of your updation request. Note the number for future reference. Along with DoB, name and gender can also be updated in this page as per Aadhaar details.

If the employee and employer still wish to go offline and make the changes, they must fill out a joint declaration and submit it to the EPFO.
