How to recover a forgotten Udyam Registration Number
Forgetting the number does not affect the registration. It is still active on the portal and can be looked up again. The form above does the recovery for you, and this is how it works.
- Choose the type of registration. The portal asks whether you hold a Udyam Registration or an older Udyog Aadhaar (UAM).
- Pick mobile or email. Recovery works with the mobile number or the email address that was entered in the original application.
- Verify with OTP. A one-time password is sent to that mobile or email. Once it is entered, the portal shows the Udyam Number linked to it.
You can do this yourself at udyamregistration.gov.in using the “Forgot Udyam/UAM No.” option under Print / Verify. The Government does not charge for it. Our fee is for doing the lookup and sending you the result when you would rather not handle it yourself.
Forgot Udyam certificate? Download the PDF after you recover the number
Many people search for the certificate when what they have actually lost is the number. The two go together. The certificate PDF can only be downloaded with the Udyam Number and an OTP, so the number has to be recovered first.
Once you have it, a fresh copy of the certificate can be pulled as many times as you need. Use the Udyam certificate download page for that step. Nothing is cancelled or reissued when you download it again.
Recover a Udyam Number by mobile number, Aadhaar or PAN
- By mobile number. This is the standard route. It works when you still have the mobile number used in the application.
- By email. If the mobile number has changed, the email address given in the application can receive the OTP instead.
- With Aadhaar details. The registration was created with the owner’s Aadhaar. Knowing whose Aadhaar was used tells you which mobile number and email to try.
- With PAN. If PAN is all you remember, our guide on finding your Udyam Number using PAN covers the options.
If you have changed both the mobile number and the email, recovery takes longer. Tell us what you still have in the form above and we will explain what is possible in your case. There is also a step-by-step article on recovering a lost Udyam Number.
Udyam Registration Number: what it looks like and where to find it
The Udyam Registration Number, also called the URN, has 19 characters in this pattern: UDYAM-XX-00-0000000. The two letters are the state code, the next two digits are the district code and the last seven digits are the serial number.
Before starting a recovery, check the places where the number usually sits:
- The email and SMS sent on the day of registration. Search your inbox for the word UDYAM.
- The certificate PDF, if a copy was ever saved or shared with your bank or accountant.
- Loan papers, tender documents and GeM seller profiles, where the number is normally quoted.
- Your CA or the person who filed the registration for you.
If none of these has it, use the form above and we will find your Udyam number for you.
Forgot Udyog Aadhaar instead of Udyam?
Udyog Aadhaar was the earlier system and its numbers start with a state code such as MH or DL instead of UDYAM. Those registrations are no longer valid. If that is what you hold, recovering the old number will not give you a usable certificate. You need a new Udyam Registration, and the Udyog Aadhaar to Udyam migration guide explains the change.
