5 important points members should know about profile corrections For all Aadhaar-validated UANs issued on or after 1 October 2017, members can update most profile details. This includes DOJ, DOE, and other essentials online without EPFO approval. Any DOJ or DOE changes must match EPFO’s contribution records. They are hence subject to verification. Any errors or missing information in this regard will require verification and approval by EPFO. All members with UANs issued before 1 October 2017 must submit an online joint declaration that requires employer approval. This will ensure transparency and proper alignment of such members. In case a UAN is not Aadhaar-validated, is not available, or the request is made by the claimant after a member’s demise, a physical joint declaration must be submitted through the employer for EPFO approval. If the employer is unavailable, all members of closed establishments or those whose employers cannot be contacted may submit a joint declaration, signed by an authorised officer, along with supporting documents, directly to the EPFO office.
