Hi All,
Is there a way to check the service history of the person (UAN) before he has joined the company? We know that one can check the service history once we make him as an employee, but in this case we would like to check the service history of new hires before we even send offer letter of them. We would have the UAN number of them (found mostly from Payslips).
Thanks in Advance,

this option is only allowed to Employee not to employer. because this belong to his personal matter. any employer can be responsible for his employment. Yes if you want to see the service history then you have to login in EPF portal as a employee and for this you need to UAN and the password for the respective employee , but i don't think that anybody will give you.

Can I answer this clearly?
There are 2 things to consider here.
Employers can view Service History from EPFO Employers Portal. True.
1. The EPFO Employer’s Portal credentials are not available to everyone in the hiring company, including the hiring, HR and documentation teams, as it is very sensitive containing the whole company’s financial information and all employees’ personal information.
Only the Payroll/Finance team will have access to this portal, and they should and will never share it with other teams, including hiring, HR and documentation teams. As its purely for PF registration and contribution purposes.
2. Background verification is never done by hiring/HR/documentation teams in almost every mid-sized to bigger companies. It's done by 3rd party BGV companies. And obviously they won't have access to the hiring company’s payroll/finance team’s Employer Portal login credentials.
The only way companies can check your service history before or after hiring, is to ask you to provide the Service History.
It's upto you to share that, or not.
Hope this helps.
