5. Enter the registered mobile number
6. Verify via OTP
7. Click "Print" or "Download PDF"

Problem 1: PDF Not Loading or Blank Page

Causes & Fixes

1. Browser blocking pop-ups — The certificate opens in a new tab/pop-up. Allow pop-ups for udyamregistration.gov.in
   • Chrome: Click the blocked pop-up icon in the address bar → Allow
   • Firefox: Options → Privacy & Security → Allow pop-ups for this site
2. PDF viewer not working — Try right-clicking the print button and selecting "Save Link As" to download directly
3. Browser cache issue — Clear cache (Ctrl + Shift + Delete) and retry
4. Try a different browser — Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Avoid outdated browsers
5. Mobile browser limitation — Some mobile browsers can't render the certificate PDF. Use a desktop/laptop

Alternative: Use Print to PDF

1. When the certificate page loads (even partially), press Ctrl + P
2. Select "Save as PDF" as the printer
3. Click Save — this creates a local PDF copy

Problem 2: Udyam Registration Number Not Found

If the portal says "No record found" or "Invalid Udyam number":

Fixes

1. Check the format — Udyam numbers follow this pattern: UDYAM-XX-00-0000000 (XX = state code, 00 = district code). Enter it exactly as received
2. Check for typos — Common mistakes: confusing 0 (zero) with O (letter), mixing up similar digits
3. Registration not completed — You may have started but not completed registration. Check your email/SMS for confirmation
4. Recently registered — New registrations may take 24–48 hours to reflect in the print/verify system
5. Forgot your number — Click "Forgot Udyam Registration Number" on the portal. Enter Aadhaar or PAN to retrieve it

Problem 3: OTP Not Received for Certificate Download

The OTP for certificate download goes to your registered mobile number.

1. Verify your mobile number — It must be the same number used during registration
2. Changed your number? — You need to update your mobile number first via the "Update Udyam Registration" option
3. OTP delayed — Wait 2–3 minutes. Don't click resend too quickly
4. UIDAI server down — OTP verification depends on UIDAI servers. Try after some time

For detailed OTP fixes, see our Aadhaar OTP troubleshooting guide.

Problem 4: Certificate Shows Wrong Details

If your downloaded certificate has incorrect information:

1. Don't use the incorrect certificate — It may cause issues in loan applications or tenders
2. Visit udyamregistration.gov.in → "Update Udyam Registration"
3. Log in with Aadhaar OTP
4. Correct the wrong details (name, address, activity, etc.)
5. Submit the update request
6. Download the updated certificate after 24–48 hours

See our Udyam update details guide for step-by-step instructions.

Problem 5: Verification Link Not Working

Banks, government departments, and tender portals may need to verify your Udyam certificate.

Official Verification Method
