If you are a farmer, you may have heard this at the bank, at the CSC, or from the patwari: “Pehle Farmer ID banwao.” In many states, PM Kisan installments, crop insurance, KCC and other farm benefits are now being linked to one number: your Farmer ID.
A Farmer ID (Kisan Pehchan Patra) is a unique digital ID made under the government’s AgriStack programme. It connects your Aadhaar with your land records, so you do not have to prove again and again that the land is yours. By August 2026, more than 10.31 crore Farmer IDs had been created across India.
This page explains Farmer ID registration, how to download your Farmer ID card, what to do in Uttarakhand (UK), and gives a state-wise list of Farmer Registry portals.

Why Farmer ID Matters Now
| Use | What changes for you |
|---|---|
| PM Kisan | Farmer ID is mandatory for new PM Kisan registration in many states (14 states by August 2025), and some states ask existing beneficiaries too |
| Kisan Credit Card | Banks can check your land details faster |
| Crop insurance | Quicker and more accurate claims |

Who Can Get a Farmer ID?
- Any farmer who owns agricultural land in their own name in the state’s land records.
- Co-owners of land can each register (as per state rules).
- You need an Aadhaar card and the mobile number linked with it.
Note for tenant farmers: Since Farmer ID is linked with land records, rules for tenant farmers depend on your state. Ask your agriculture office.

| Point | What to do in Uttarakhand |

Practical tip for hill areas: If your land is in a joint khata with family members, take the khatauni copy with you. Many registration problems in Uttarakhand come from joint ownership and name spelling differences.
