Consent is part of the contract

The candidate must consent to the employment check; Profiden records the consent with the request.

Benefits of the UAN Lookup API

Find a person's Universal Account Number from their mobile or PAN.

No UAN, no problem

Start EPFO checks from a phone number.

Multiple UANs surfaced

A signal for dual employment or unmerged accounts.
