Simplified EPF Profile Updates via Digilocker
Update Your EPF Profile Effortlessly with Digilocker
The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has streamlined its Joint Declaration (JD) process. Members can now use Digilocker to submit requests for profile updates, eliminating paperwork and delays. Here’s all you need to know about these new changes.
Why the New Joint Declaration Process Matters
The EPFO’s new method ensures faster processing and greater accuracy. This shift benefits both active members and claimants of deceased members. Here’s how the categories are defined for these updates:
Member Category | Submission Type |
---|---|
UAN linked to Aadhaar (Post-2017) | Online |
UAN linked to Aadhaar (Pre-2017) | Online |
No UAN or Aadhaar validation | Physical |
For Category C, if Aadhaar is linked but no UAN exists, the system will create a new UAN.
How to Submit Joint Declarations

- Members upload one document directly.
- Digilocker integration ensures secure, fast submissions.
