Why People Forget Their SSO ID
Most people create their SSO ID once for a single task, such as a job form or a scholarship. Then months pass with no login. When the next application season arrives, the username is gone from memory.
The "forgot SSO ID" search spikes every recruitment season for exactly this reason. Students and job seekers rush to apply and hit the login wall. The good news is that the portal built two quick recovery paths for this exact situation, and both take minutes.
Do Not Create a New SSO ID
This is the biggest mistake people make. When they forget their SSO ID, they register a fresh account instead of recovering the old one.
A new account creates a duplicate. Duplicates cause data mismatches in exam forms, scholarship applications, and scheme records. During recruitment season, a duplicate account can even block your application with errors on the portal.
Your old SSO ID takes only minutes to recover. Always recover first. If you already created a duplicate by mistake, read our guide on how to merge two SSO IDs.
Method 1: Recover Your SSO ID by SMS (Fastest)
The SMS method needs no internet and no browser. It works from any basic phone.
- Open the SMS app on your registered mobile number.
- Type the message RJ SSO exactly, with a space between the two words.
- Send it to 9223166166.
- Wait a few moments. The portal replies with your SSO ID by SMS.
This method works only from the mobile number registered with your account. If you send the SMS from a different number, you will not receive a reply. In that case, use Method 2 or read the lost number section below.
Method 2: Recover Your SSO ID on the Portal (Online)
Use this method when you have internet access or when the SMS method does not work for you.
-
Step 1: Open the Recovery Page
Go to sso.rajasthan.gov.in in your browser. Below the login form, click the link that says "I Forgot my Digital Identity (SSOID)". You can also open the recovery page directly at sso.rajasthan.gov.in/forgotsd.
-
Step 2: Select Your User Category
Choose the same category you used during registration. Citizen, Udyog, or Government Employee. Picking the wrong category will not find your account.
-
Step 3: Choose Your Registration Identity
Citizens select the identity they registered with. Jan Aadhaar, Aadhaar, or Google account. Udyog users enter their business registration details. Government employees enter their SIPF number.
If you do not remember which identity you used, start with Jan Aadhaar. Most citizen accounts in Rajasthan are linked to it.
-
Step 4: Enter Your Details and Verify OTP
For Jan Aadhaar recovery, enter your Jan Aadhaar ID and select your name from the family member list. Click Send OTP. A six digit OTP arrives on the mobile number linked with your Jan Aadhaar. Enter it to verify.
-
Step 5: Receive Your SSO ID
After verification, the portal shows your SSO ID on screen or sends it to your registered mobile and email. Note it down somewhere safe this time. Once you have the username, you can log in with your password as usual.
What If Your Registered Mobile Number No Longer Works?
This is the hardest forgot SSO ID case. Both methods above depend on OTP delivery to your registered number. If that SIM is lost or closed, you will never get the OTP, no matter how many times you press resend.
The fix is offline. Visit your nearest e-Mitra centre or SSO help centre and carry a valid government ID such as your Aadhaar card, Jan Aadhaar card, or Voter ID. An authorized operator can update the contact details on your account after verifying your identity. Once your new mobile number is registered, come back to Method 1 or Method 2 and recover your SSO ID normally.
Update your email address at the same visit. A working email gives you a second recovery channel if you ever lose the number again.
Recovery Is Always Free
SSO ID recovery is a free government service. The SMS method, the online method, and the e-Mitra update all cost nothing from the government side. e-Mitra centres charge only their standard small service fee for operator assistance.
Be careful with agents or websites that ask for payment to "find" your SSO ID. Nobody can recover your account faster than the official methods above, and sharing your details with third parties puts your account at risk.
Tips to Never Lose Your SSO ID Again
Save your SSO ID in more than one place. Write it in a notebook at home and save it in a note on your phone.
Keep your registered mobile number active. The entire recovery system depends on it. If you plan to change your number, update it in your SSO profile before the old SIM closes.
Add and verify your email address in your profile. It acts as a backup recovery channel and receives your SSO ID during online recovery.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I find my SSO ID by mobile number?
Send the SMS RJ SSO to 9223166166 from your registered mobile number. The portal replies with your SSO ID by SMS within a few moments. This works only from the number linked to your account.
Can I recover my SSO ID with Jan Aadhaar?
Yes. Open the recovery page, select Citizen, choose Jan Aadhaar, enter your Jan Aadhaar ID, and pick your name from the family list. After OTP verification, the portal shares your SSO ID.
Is recovering my SSO ID the same as resetting my password?
No. These are two separate processes. SSO ID recovery finds your username. Password reset creates a new password for a username you already know. If you forgot both, recover the SSO ID first, then reset the password.
I forgot SSO ID and password both. What should I do first?
Recover the SSO ID first, because the password reset form asks for your username. Use the SMS method or the Jan Aadhaar recovery above. Once you have the username, reset the password from the login page.
What if I created two SSO IDs by mistake?
Do not keep using both. Duplicate accounts cause data mismatches in applications. Recover your original ID, then merge or deactivate the duplicate. Our SSO ID merge guide explains the full process.
Is there any fee for SSO ID recovery?
No. Recovery by SMS and on the portal is completely free. Never pay an agent or third party website for it.
Conclusion
Recovering a forgotten SSO ID takes minutes, not days. Send RJ SSO to 9223166166 for the instant SMS method, or use the recovery page at sso.rajasthan.gov.in/forgotsd with your Jan Aadhaar, Aadhaar, or Google account. If your registered mobile number is dead, one visit to an e-Mitra centre with your ID card puts recovery back within reach.
Whatever you do, never create a new account to escape a forgotten username. Recover, note it down safely, and keep your contact details updated so this never slows you down again.
