Tamil Nadu’s AgriStack Farmer Registry is on the official portal tnfr.agristack.gov.in. Farmers verify themselves with Aadhaar, claim land from the state’s patta and chitta records, and receive a Farmer ID. Tamil Nadu had 36,53,156 Farmer IDs on 6 August 2026, and it ran the third-largest Digital Crop Survey in the country in Rabi 2025-26.
Register only at tnfr.agristack.gov.in. AgriStack.net is independent and never asks for your Aadhaar or OTP.

Tamil and English names
Your patta is in Tamil, while Aadhaar data is often in English. The national FAQ explains that the matching tools can transliterate Indian scripts to English before comparing. Initials are a particular issue in Tamil Nadu: many people write their father’s name as an initial in one record and in full in another. If your claim is not approved automatically, a revenue official will check it. See name mismatch.
