1. Checking the EPF number via EPF CMC
Please note that their working hours are from Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm. Besides, it would be best if you were more comfortable since the CMC staff are very prompt, helpful, and friendly. This method is using the IC to identify you.

- Inform them that you forgot your EPF number and need to check it
- The EPF CMC will ask for the Identification Card Number (IC number) for verification, and they will also ask for your Full Name
- Once everything is verified, they will tell you your EPF number
- The entire process could take up to 2 minutes.
2. How to check EPF number via online i-Akaun
Before using any online services of KWSP at secure.kwsp.gov.my, you need to register the KWSP i-Account first. After registering, all you need to do is to log in with the user ID and password you have registered before.
Here is the step to check the KWSP number using your i-akaun:
- Visit the official KWSP i-Akaun login site
- Use a preferable language, either Bahasa Malaysia or English
- Enter your USER ID and press the Continue button
- Make sure your Security Image and Passphrase are correct
- Enter your PASSWORD and press the Login button
- After logging in, you will see the Welcome message with YOUR NAME and the last login date

In case you have trouble with logging in to i-Akaun and received the message as such:
G0203: Your account is no longer active. Please click on the “Forgot Password” link to reset your password.
You can simply click Forgot User ID/Password link and follow the instructions to reset the password
3. Through your employer’s HR team
You may also ask your current employer’s Human Resource (HR) Department for your EPF number.
The HR department should have all the details of its employee, including the EPF numbers. However, if it is a new employer, you might want to ask the previous one.
4. How to check the EPF number through the kiosk
To check your EPF number, you don’t have to queue up. Instead, you can use the kiosk to get your KWSP number.
When you are at the EPF Kiosk, choose to print your EPF account statement. This is where you can see your EPF number stated.
By printing a statement, you can also use the EPF kiosk on the premises to check the balance.
For that purpose, you can visit the EPF website to know the location of the KWSP Kiosk nationwide, including EPF third-party kiosks. Check their operating hours as only some kiosks are available after office hours.
5. How to check the EPF number at the EPF counter

- Come to any nearest EPF branch
- Bring an Identification Card
- Take the queue number and wait your turn
- Finish your business at the counter
In summary, the easiest and fastest way to check the EPF number is by calling the EPF CMC at 03 89226000. By connecting to the EPF CMC, it would save your precious time and energy. It is just that the operating hours are on weekdays.
