Farmers in India can apply for a Farmer ID online through the Farmer Registry system under the Government of India’s AgriStack initiative. The Farmer ID provides farmers with a digital identity that can help connect their records with agricultural schemes and services.
The registration and download process depends on the state where your agricultural land is recorded. Some states have their own Farmer Registry portals, so applicants should use the correct official website.

What Is a Farmer ID?
A Farmer ID is a unique digital identity created through the government’s Farmer Registry. It is designed to help identify farmers and link their profiles with relevant agricultural and land records.
The registry can support access to government services, including eligible agricultural schemes, crop insurance, procurement and other farmer-related benefits. However, having a Farmer ID does not automatically guarantee eligibility for every scheme. (AgriStack)
