EPF Details Correction Affidavit Format (Joint Declaration Support)
Affidavit · Last reviewed September 2026
This is a reference format, not legal advice. The actual correction happens through EPFO's Joint Declaration process (you + your employer, on the EPFO portal) - this affidavit is a supporting document some employers/offices ask for, not the correction request itself.
When You Need This
Your name, father's name, or date of birth is recorded incorrectly in your EPF/UAN records - often surfacing as a mismatch when linking your UAN to Aadhaar, or when your new employer's records don't match your old PF account.

Click anywhere in the document above to fine-tune the wording before printing - the notary's date and place are left blank on purpose.
File the actual correction request as a Joint Declaration on the EPFO Member Portal with your employer.
Buy non-judicial stamp paper if your employer/EPFO office wants a notarized affidavit alongside it.
Sign it in front of a Notary Public if required.
Submit it to your employer's HR/PF department along with your supporting document.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The Joint Declaration Form (jointly signed by you and your current employer, submitted through the EPFO portal) is the actual correction request. This affidavit is a supporting self-declaration some employers or EPFO offices ask for alongside it, not a replacement for the Joint Declaration process itself.
No - the Joint Declaration process specifically requires your current employer's digital signature/approval alongside your own request on the EPFO Member Portal. You can't complete this correction unilaterally.
Commonly Aadhaar, PAN, passport, or a bank passbook - EPFO's portal lists the specific accepted documents for each field (name, DOB, father's name, etc.) you're trying to correct. Check the current list on the EPFO Member Portal before applying.
This varies by the complexity of the correction and how quickly your employer approves their part of the Joint Declaration - minor corrections are often faster than major name changes, which may need more scrutiny. Check the current status directly on the EPFO Member Portal.
Some employers or EPFO regional offices ask for a notarized affidavit on stamp paper alongside the Joint Declaration Form - check with your employer's HR/PF department for their specific requirement.
