To download your Udyam certificate, go to udyamregistration.gov.in → Print / Verify → Print Udyam Certificate, enter your Udyam Registration Number (URN) and registered mobile or email, verify with the OTP, and download the PDF. Lost your URN? Use “Forgot Udyam/Udyog Aadhaar No.” to retrieve it with your Aadhaar-linked mobile first. The MSME certificate and the Udyam certificate are the same document.
Your Udyam Registration Certificate is the document banks, GeM, and tender portals ask for to confirm you are a registered MSME. Most people need to re-download it long after registering — for a CGTMSE loan, a subsidy claim, or a supplier onboarding. This guide shows exactly how to download it in a few minutes, what to do if you have lost your Udyam Registration Number, and how to handle the OTP, print and wrong-detail problems that stop people at the last step. It also covers the older Udyog Aadhaar and the “MSME certificate” that people often search for separately.
A Udyam Registration Certificate is issued once, carries a permanent Udyam Registration Number (URN), and never expires. But the certificate PDF is not emailed to you forever — you download it on demand from the government portal whenever a bank, buyer or scheme needs proof. That is why “how do I download my Udyam certificate again” is one of the most searched Udyam questions in India. The process is short once you know the exact path.
To pull your certificate you need two things:
• Your Udyam Registration Number (URN) — the code in the format UDYAM-XX-00-0000000 that was shown when you registered and emailed to you. If you have lost it, see the retrieve-it section below.
• Access to your registered mobile or email — the portal sends a one-time password (OTP) to verify it is really you before it shows the certificate. This is the mobile linked to your Aadhaar at the time of registration.
You do not need to log in with a password, and you do not need any document upload. The whole thing is URN plus OTP.
If you have your URN, this takes about two minutes:
Step 1. Open udyamregistration.gov.in and click “Print / Verify” in the top menu.
Step 2. Choose “Print Udyam Certificate”.
Step 3. Enter your Udyam Registration Number exactly as issued (UDYAM-XX-00-0000000 — the two letters are your state code).
Step 4. Choose whether to get the OTP on your registered mobile or email, then click “Validate & Generate OTP”.
Step 5. Type the 6-digit OTP and submit. Your Udyam Registration Certificate opens as a PDF — use the download or print icon to save it.
That PDF is the document to attach for a CGTMSE loan, GeM registration or a tender. It shows your URN, enterprise name, type, major activity, NIC codes and date of registration.
Losing the URN is the single most common reason people get stuck. You cannot download the certificate without it, but you can get it back if you still have the registered mobile (for the deeper walkthrough see our guide on recovering a lost Udyam number):
Step 1. On the portal, open “Print / Verify” and choose “Forgot Udyam/Udyog Aadhaar No.”.
Step 2. Select how you registered (with PAN / mobile), enter the mobile or email registered with your Udyam, and generate the OTP.
Step 3. After OTP verification the portal displays your Udyam Registration Number. Note it down, then follow the download steps above.
The catch: this only works if you still have the mobile linked to your Aadhaar/Udyam. If that number is lost or disconnected, the online retrieval fails — the linked mobile has to be updated at UIDAI first, or a specialist can retrieve the certificate for you using your business and PAN details. If you have also lost the registered email, our full certificate recovery guide covers every route. The fastest option is to have it retrieved for you.
Yes — and this trips up a lot of people searching for “MSME certificate download”. Since 1 July 2020, all MSME registration in India happens through the Udyam system. There is no separate “MSME certificate” document any more. The certificate you download from the Udyam portal is your MSME certificate. So whether you searched for “msme certificate download” or “udyam certificate download”, the steps above give you the same PDF.
If you are not sure whether you were ever registered under Udyam, you can verify a Udyam number first, or check your old registration email.
Before Udyam there was Udyog Aadhaar (UAM). If you registered before mid-2020, you may be searching for “udyog aadhar download”. You can still print the old Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum from the Udyog Aadhaar section of the portal using your 12-digit UAM number and registered mobile.
But there is an important catch: Udyog Aadhaar is no longer valid for MSME benefits. Banks and government schemes now require a Udyam certificate. If you are still on Udyog Aadhaar, downloading the old UAM will not help with a loan or subsidy — you need to migrate to Udyam, which issues a fresh Udyam Registration Certificate. The migration is quick, and it is worth doing before you apply for anything.
OTP not arriving. Nine times out of ten the mobile linked to your Aadhaar is old or disconnected, so the OTP goes to a SIM you no longer have. Confirm the linked number on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in, and if it is wrong, update it there or at an enrolment centre. Full walkthrough: Udyam OTP not received.
“Invalid Udyam Registration Number”. The URN must be typed in the exact format UDYAM-XX-00-0000000 with the hyphens. Copy it straight from your registration email rather than typing from memory — a single wrong character triggers this error.
Certificate does not open. The certificate opens as a PDF in a new tab. If nothing happens, your browser is blocking pop-ups. Allow pop-ups for udyamregistration.gov.in, or try a fresh Chrome window. On mobile, use “Open in new tab”.
Aadhaar validation error while retrieving. If the portal throws an Aadhaar error, the cause is usually a name mismatch or an inoperative PAN, not the certificate itself. See Aadhaar not validated in Udyam for the fixes.
Once the certificate is on screen, use your browser’s Print (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) and choose “Save as PDF” as the destination. This gives you a clean, shareable copy you can email or send on WhatsApp. Keep one saved copy so you do not have to repeat the OTP step every time a bank or buyer asks for it. For loans and GeM, always submit the full certificate PDF, not a screenshot — screenshots are frequently rejected.
Download it first, then check every field — enterprise name, address, major activity, NIC codes, and organisation type. A wrong NIC code or a name that does not match your PAN or bank is the kind of thing that gets a CGTMSE loan or a tender bid quietly rejected months later.
Most of these fields cannot be self-edited on the portal — they need the official update flow, which is OTP-verified and sometimes requires re-validation. If your certificate has a wrong NIC code, address or name, fix it before you use it anywhere. We handle the retrieval and correction end to end and email you a clean certificate, usually the same day, for ₹599.
Yes. On the portal open “Print / Verify” then “Forgot Udyam/Udyog Aadhaar No.”, enter the mobile or email registered with your Udyam, verify with the OTP, and the portal shows your URN — then download the certificate. If the registered mobile is one you no longer have, online retrieval will not work; the linked mobile has to be updated first, or a specialist can retrieve it for you.
Yes. Since July 2020, MSME registration is done through the Udyam system and the document issued is the Udyam Registration Certificate. “MSME certificate download” and “Udyam certificate download” fetch the same PDF — there is no separate MSME certificate any more.
Usually one of three things: the OTP is not arriving because your Aadhaar-linked mobile is old or unlinked; the URN is in the wrong format (it must be UDYAM-XX-00-0000000); or the browser is blocking the PDF. Confirm your linked mobile on myaadhaar.uidai.gov.in, copy the URN exactly from your registration email, and allow pop-ups in a fresh Chrome window.
Yes, the Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum can still be printed from the Udyog Aadhaar section using your UAM number and registered mobile. But Udyog Aadhaar is no longer valid for MSME benefits — migrate to Udyam to keep loan, subsidy and tender eligibility. The migration issues a fresh Udyam certificate.
Many fields cannot be self-edited on the portal and need the official OTP-verified update flow. If your certificate shows a wrong name, NIC code or address, correct it before using it for a loan or tender, because a mismatch causes rejections. A specialist can retrieve, correct and re-issue the certificate for you.
Yes. Open udyamregistration.gov.in in Chrome, use “Print / Verify”, enter your URN and OTP, and the certificate opens as a PDF you can save to your phone or share on WhatsApp. If the PDF does not open, allow pop-ups for the site or use “Open in new tab”.
We retrieve your Udyam Registration Number, fix any wrong details, and email you a clean certificate PDF — usually the same day. ₹599 for retrieval and corrections. Not registered yet? We file your full Udyam registration for ₹999.
