The basics
What is AgriStack?
AgriStack is the Government of India's digital public infrastructure for agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare describes it as a farmer-centric foundation "for efficient, easier and faster service and scheme delivery to the farmers". In plain words, it is a set of connected records that tell government systems who a farmer is, which land they hold and what they grow.
It rests on three foundation registries, and each one is created and maintained by the State Government or Union Territory:
- Farmer Registry: a record of each farmer, linked to their land in the state's record of rights. Every registered farmer gets a unique Farmer ID.
- Geo-Referenced Village Maps: digital village maps in which land parcels have real map locations, so a plot on paper can be found on the ground.
- Crop Sown Registry: season-by-season records of which crop is grown on which plot, collected through the Digital Crop Survey.
Because each state builds its own registry on shared standards, the system is called federated. The Government has said that the ownership of the Farmer Registry data stays with the states, and that farmer data is shared with other organisations only with the farmer's consent.

Step by step
How Farmer Registry registration works
The broad steps below are common to most states because the registries are built on the same national design. The screens, the order of some steps and the documents asked for can differ, so treat this as a map, and follow what your own state portal shows.
- 1
Select your state
Register in the state where your agricultural land is recorded. If you hold land in two states, the official FAQ says you still get a single Farmer ID against your Aadhaar.
Same in most states
- 2
Open the verified official portal
State Farmer Registry portals use addresses ending in agristack.gov.in, such as upfr.agristack.gov.in. Avoid look-alike websites and unknown apps.
Same in most states
- 3
Check eligibility and documents
Keep your Aadhaar, the mobile number linked to Aadhaar and your land record details (village, survey/khasra/gata number) ready. Extra requirements vary by state.
Check your state portal
- 4
Follow the available registration method
Many states allow self-registration on the portal or app, plus assisted registration at CSCs, camps or agriculture and revenue offices.
Check your state portal
- 5
Complete identity verification
Identity is confirmed through Aadhaar e-KYC (OTP or biometric). You then claim your land and give consent, usually with an Aadhaar-based e-Sign.
Same in most states
- 6
Check enrolment or application status
You receive an enrolment number by SMS. Officials verify your land claim; once approved, a Farmer ID is generated.
Same in most states
- 7
Use official correction and support routes
If your claim is rejected or details are wrong, use the state portal's update or grievance option, or ask the helpdesk, CSC or revenue office.

Farmer ID explained
What a Farmer ID is, and why it is used
A Farmer ID is a unique digital identity given to a farmer in the state Farmer Registry. It is created against the farmer's Aadhaar and linked to the farmer's land records. AgriStack's own description calls it a functional ID with a digitally verifiable credential.
Why it is used: departments can confirm who you are and what land you hold without asking for the same papers again and again. The Government says Farmer IDs are being used for PM-KISAN, crop insurance under PMFBY, MSP-based procurement, Kisan Credit Card loans, fertiliser booking and disaster relief, depending on the state.
How state registries work: each state first groups the land in its records by owner and village. When you register, the system shows the land linked to your name; you claim it, give consent, and revenue officials approve the claim. The official FAQ says the Farmer ID is then generated, typically within a day of approval.
Verification: identity is checked with Aadhaar e-KYC, and land is checked against the state's record of rights. Your name in Aadhaar and in the land record must match closely, which is the most common reason for delays.
Privacy: according to the official FAQ, the Farmer Registry application does not store your Aadhaar number (it is kept in a secure data vault), and your land details are not shared with outside organisations without your e-Signed consent.

District, tehsil and village
Why your village and survey number matter
The Farmer Registry does not create new land records. It reads the land records your state already keeps. That is why, during registration, you are asked to pick your district, then your sub-district (called tehsil, taluka, mandal or block in different states), then your village, and finally your land's survey number.
The official FAQ explains that if your land does not appear automatically, you can claim it by entering at least the district, sub-district, village, survey number and sub-survey number from your record of rights. If your village is missing, or the land is still in a deceased relative's name, the fix usually starts at the revenue office, not on the registry portal.
For Uttar Pradesh, the Government has published district-wise Farmer ID figures for all 75 districts, which you can search in our district guide. We have not found official village-level figures for any state, so we do not show any.

Common questions
Questions farmers often ask
What is AgriStack in simple words?
AgriStack is a set of digital records about farmers, their land and their crops, built by State Governments under common standards set by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. Its three foundation registries are the Farmer Registry, Geo-Referenced Village Maps and the Crop Sown Registry. Government departments use it to deliver schemes and services with less paperwork.
Is AgriStack.net the official AgriStack website?
No. AgriStack.net is an independent information website and is not run by any government. The official national AgriStack site is agristack.gov.in, and farmer registration happens on each state's own Farmer Registry portal, usually at an address like upfr.agristack.gov.in or mhfr.agristack.gov.in.
Where do I register for a Farmer ID?
On the Farmer Registry portal of the state where your agricultural land is recorded, or with help from a Common Service Centre, a registration camp or your local agriculture or revenue office. Our state-wise portal directory lists each address we have verified.
What do I need before I start?
In most states you need your Aadhaar number, the mobile number linked to Aadhaar (to receive OTPs) and details of your land from the record of rights, such as the village and survey, khasra or gata number. Some states ask for more. Check your state portal or CSC before you start.
How do I check whether my Farmer ID is approved?
After you claim your land and give consent, the state system gives you an enrolment number on the mobile number you used. You can use it on your state Farmer Registry portal to check status. Once officials approve the land claim, a Farmer ID is generated against your Aadhaar.
Is a Farmer ID the same as a PM-KISAN registration?
No. PM-KISAN is a scheme, while the Farmer ID is an identity in the state Farmer Registry. The Government says Farmer IDs are being integrated with schemes such as PM-KISAN, crop insurance and Kisan Credit Card, but each scheme has its own rules. Always confirm current requirements on pmkisan.gov.in or with your agriculture office.
How many Farmer IDs have been created in India?
According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, 10,33,93,603 Farmer IDs had been generated across 21 states and union territories as on 6 August 2026. Our statistics page shows the state-wise figures and links to the original documents.
Will AgriStack.net ask for my Aadhaar number or OTP?
Never. This website has no login and no forms that collect Aadhaar numbers, passwords or OTPs. If any website, app, phone caller or person asks you for your OTP to "register" you, do not share it. Use only official .gov.in portals or a trusted CSC.

How AgriStack.net checks its information
We are a small independent editorial team, not a government office, so we cannot see inside any registry. What we can do is check what the Government has published and tell you exactly where each fact comes from.
- Portal links are opened and checked before we publish them, and the check date is shown on every state guide.
- Statistics are copied from Parliament replies and PIB releases. Our scripts re-add every table to catch copying mistakes.
- Procedures are based on official FAQs, user manuals and state pages. Where states differ, we say so instead of guessing.
- Helpline numbers are listed only when we find them on an official government page, with a link to that page.
If something has changed on an official portal, please tell us through our contact page. Read more in our editorial policy.
