In today’s fast-paced world, it’s crucial to keep your EPF account up-to-date to avoid any complications with your hard-earned money.
Many individuals face challenges in receiving their EPF interest due to outdated KYC details. To ensure a smooth withdrawal process, timely updates are essential.
How to Update Date of Birth (DOB) in EPF Records
EPFO makes it convenient to correct your date of birth in your EPF records through the Unified Member Portal.
If the difference in DOB is less than 3 years, updating it requires submitting Aadhaar or e-Aadhaar.
However, for differences exceeding 3 years, additional documents alongside Aadhaar are needed. The following documents are accepted:
- School or education certificate
- Registrar birth certificate
- Passport
- Certificate based on service records of Central or State Government organizations
- Valid documents issued by any government department, such as driving license or ESIC card
- Medical certificate from a civil surgeon after thorough examination
Take Action Online: Submit Your Application
Submitting a request to correct your date of birth is a simple online process through the EPFO Unified Member Portal.

Why Nominations Matter: Ensure Hassle-free Claiming Process
Nominating a person for your Employees’ Provident Fund account is crucial to safeguarding your loved ones’ financial future.
With a nominee designated, your EPF corpus can be easily claimed by them in the event of your unfortunate demise. Take the necessary steps to secure your family’s financial well-being.
Remember, Provident Fund (PF) is an essential benefit available to salaried individuals, with 12% of the basic salary being regularly deposited into the PF account.
Ensure that your EPF account remains accurate and updated, providing peace of mind for you and your family’s financial security.
