Farmer ID: How to Get Your AgriStack Farmer Registry ID

What is a Farmer ID?

The Lok Sabha was told on 1 April 2025 that the Digital Agriculture Mission was approved in September 2024 with an outlay of ₹2,817 crore. It builds AgriStack, which has three registries, all created and kept by the States/UTs:

• Farmers Registry: one Farmer ID per farmer;
• Geo-referenced Village Maps;
• Crop Sown Registry.

PIB (24 March 2026) explains that a Farmer ID is created by matching the farmer with digitised land records. The registry covers landholding farmers, including women, livestock and fisheries farmers. Krishi Code reported in August 2026 that the data is held state-wise, is consent-based, and follows the DPDP Act 2023.

Farmer ID and PM Kisan: the rule step by step

The full list of the 19 states was not given in the March 2026 release. All India Radio (6 February 2026) named states generating Farmer IDs, including Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Punjab, Odisha and Telangana.

For farmers already getting PM Kisan, we found no official order making Farmer ID compulsory to keep receiving the kist. Some news reports list a missing Farmer ID as a reason for delay, so getting one is wise. The PIB release also says the grievance system lets farmers register for a Farmer ID and fixes land or name mismatches.

How to get your Farmer ID

There are three routes. Village camps are officially funded: the Lok Sabha was told states get ₹15,000 per field camp, and field staff get ₹10 per Farmer ID from PM Kisan admin funds. Self-registration on the state Farmer Registry portal is the second route. Help at a CSC is the third route (reported by guides).

1. Keep ready your Aadhaar card, the mobile number linked to Aadhaar (for OTP) and your land record details. Guides mention Khatauni or Khasra in UP and 7/12 in Maharashtra.
2. Go to the camp in your Gram Panchayat, or open your state's Farmer Registry portal. Verified examples: upfr.agristack.gov.in (Uttar Pradesh) and mhfr.agristack.gov.in (Maharashtra).
3. Verify Aadhaar with the OTP. Guides report that your name and basic details then fill in from Aadhaar.
4. Add each land parcel you own. The system matches it with the state's digitised land records.
5. Submit and write down the enrolment number you get.
6. Wait for verification by the state. After approval, the Farmer ID is issued.

Never pay an agent for a Farmer ID, never share an OTP with a caller, and use only official .gov.in addresses. State guides: Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Farmer ID status check and card download

Guides report that the UP and Maharashtra portals have a "Check Enrolment Status" page where you enter your enrolment details, and that the Farmer ID can be downloaded from the farmer login after approval. We could not confirm these screens ourselves, so follow the live portal. If your land and Aadhaar name do not match, the record may be held for correction; visit the registry camp or your agriculture office with your land papers.

How many Farmer IDs exist: state-wise

Official counts have grown fast: 4,85,57,246 on 28 March 2025 (Lok Sabha), 8.47 crore by 6 February 2026 (All India Radio) and more than 9.20 crore on 19 March 2026 (PIB). The latest, "more than 10.31 crore" as on 3 August 2026, comes from a Rajya Sabha reply reported by Krishi Code. PIB's state table of 19 March 2026:

What the Farmer ID is used for

PIB (24 March 2026) lists these uses:

• PM Kisan registration;
• crop insurance (PMFBY);
• MSP procurement: Chhattisgarh uses it for paddy procurement of 32 lakh+ farmers;
• input distribution and disaster relief;
• credit delivery, such as the Kisan Credit Card.

We found no source saying a Farmer ID replaces land documents for KCC across India. Karnataka farmers also have the older state FRUITS FID, explained on our FRUITS FID page.
