How to Print or Download Your Udyam Certificate (2026 Guide)
Whether you misplaced your original Udyam certificate, need a fresh copy for a bank submission, or want to verify a vendor is a genuine MSME — the reprint process is free, takes under 2 minutes, and works entirely from the official portal.
Why You Might Need to Print Udyam Certificate Again
The Udyam certificate is your MSME identity proof. You will typically need it for:
- Opening or updating a current account (banks now verify Udyam status for PSL classification).
- Applying for CGTMSE-covered loans (guarantee cover up to ₹10 crore w.e.f. 1 April 2025).
- Bidding on GeM (Government e-Marketplace) tenders — MSME preference applies.
- Filing MSME Samadhaan complaints for delayed payments beyond 45 days.
- Claiming input on state-level industrial subsidies.
- Statutory audits and internal compliance records.
If you lost the original PDF, or need a fresh copy after updating your business details, reprinting is free from the official portal.
The Reprint Process — Step by Step
Step 1: Go to the Official Portal
Open udyamregistration.gov.in. Verify the URL and SSL padlock. Any other URL is not the government.
Step 2: Click "Print / Verify Udyam Certificate"
On the homepage, look for the "Print / Verify" link in the top navigation (usually near the top-right). Click it — you'll land on a search page.
Step 3: Enter Your URN or Reference Number
You have two options: - Enter your 19-digit URN (format: UDYAM-XX-00-0000000) if you have it. - Enter your registered mobile number or email ID if you've lost the URN.
Complete the captcha and click "Validate".
Step 4: Aadhaar OTP Verification
The portal sends a 6-digit OTP to your Aadhaar-linked mobile number. Enter it. If your Aadhaar number has changed since registration, you'll need to first update it via the "Update Udyam" flow.
Step 5: Download the Certificate
Once verified, your Udyam certificate opens in the browser. Options: - Print (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) — for physical copies. - Save as PDF — for digital records. Recommended: save to cloud storage.
The certificate carries a QR code — anyone can scan this to verify authenticity in real time.
What If You Don't Remember Your URN?
Two paths:
Option 1: Recover via mobile/email. On the same "Print / Verify" page, enter your registered mobile number or email. The system will send an OTP and show your URN.
Option 2: Contact MSME Champions. If neither the mobile nor the email work (both changed), you'll need to raise a support ticket at my.msme.gov.in with proof of identity. Response typically takes 5 to 10 working days.
How to Verify If a Certificate Is Genuine
If a vendor or business partner has given you their Udyam certificate and you want to verify it's real (not a fabricated one from a fake site):
- Go to udyamregistration.gov.in → Print / Verify.
- Enter the URN from the certificate they shared.
- Complete captcha and search.
- If the government portal shows the same business name, category, and registration date — it's genuine.
- If nothing comes up or details don't match — the certificate is fake.
Alternatively, scan the QR code on the certificate directly using any smartphone QR scanner. It should redirect to the official portal with the same URN details.
Common Issues
"OTP not received" — Your mobile number linked to Aadhaar might have changed. Update Aadhaar at any UIDAI Seva Kendra first, then retry.
"URN not found" — Either the URN was typed incorrectly (check the format: UDYAM-XX-00-0000000, 19 characters), or the registration doesn't exist in the government database (indicates a fake certificate from a fee-charging fraud site).
"Please update your registration" — Portal is prompting you to refresh turnover/investment figures. Do this once, then reprint.
"Aadhaar name mismatch" — Applicant's Aadhaar name has changed since registration (e.g., after marriage). Update Aadhaar first, then update Udyam.
What About the Old Udyog Aadhaar (UAM) Certificate?
If you're trying to reprint an old Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum certificate — that system was retired on 30 June 2020, and all UAM registrations expired on 31 March 2022. You cannot use a UAM certificate as valid MSME proof today.
You need to migrate to Udyam first. See our detailed comparison in Udyam vs Udyog Aadhaar: What Changed.
Cost Reminder
Reprinting is 100% free on the official portal. If any website is charging you a fee to "download your Udyam certificate" — even ₹99 — it is not the government. The Ministry of MSME does not charge for registration, re-verification, or reprint. See our fact-check on this in Udyam Registration Fees: Is It Really Free?.
Bottom Line
Print / download / verify Udyam certificate — all three take under 2 minutes on the official portal, cost nothing, and work off Aadhaar OTP. Save the PDF to your cloud storage so you don't need to go through the process every time.
