Whether you are launching a new venture or converting an existing business to the updated portal, the steps are straightforward and designed to reduce paperwork and time.


What You Need Before You Begin the Process


Before starting the registration, business owners should keep their Aadhaar number handy. In the case of a proprietorship, the proprietor’s Aadhaar is required, while for companies, partnerships, and LLPs, the authorised signatory’s Aadhaar must be used. The process is entirely online, eliminating the need for physical documents.


How To Register 



  • Visit the official Udyam Registration portal and choose the correct option, depending on whether you are registering for the first time or shifting from an older system like Udyog Aadhaar.

  • Enter the required Aadhaar details and complete OTP verification.

  • Provide essential business information such as your PAN number, location, and the nature of your enterprise’s activities.

  • Submit the details so the portal can automatically categorise your business based on its investment and turnover data.

  • The system verifies information directly through government databases, eliminating the need to upload documents or certificates.

  • Once approved, you will receive a unique Udyam Registration Number (URN) and a digital certificate.

  • The certificate acts as official recognition and can be used for bank applications and to access various government support programmes.


The entire process not only encourages transparency but also empowers millions of MSMEs to scale their operations with confidence. If you’re building a new business in 2025, completing your Udyam registration may be one of the most important steps you take to secure future opportunities and government backing.
