## What the Udyog Aadhaar Verification API does

Udyog Aadhaar Verification checks a Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum number and returns the enterprise details registered against it.

Udyog Aadhaar was superseded by Udyam, but UAM numbers still circulate in older records and among businesses that have not migrated. Supporting both means legacy documentation does not block an application.

## Where teams use the Udyog Aadhaar Verification API

1.  Verifying MSME status from legacy documentation
    
2.  Handling businesses that have not migrated to Udyam
    
3.  Validating historical registration records
    
4.  Reconciling older merchant files during data cleanup
    

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is Udyog Aadhaar still valid?

It has been replaced by Udyam. Businesses were expected to migrate, so a UAM without a corresponding Udyam registration is worth querying.

What is a UAM number?

The Udyog Aadhaar Memorandum number issued under the previous MSME registration system.

Should I ask for Udyam instead?

Yes, where the business has one. Use MSME Verification for current Udyam registrations.
