Electronic Official Personnel Folder (eOPF)

By Human Capital

The eOPF is an electronic version of the paper Official Personnel Folder and contains records that document your federal career. Records in eOPF include notification of personnel actions (SF-50s), position descriptions, health and life insurance election forms, designation of beneficiary forms, and much more.

What’s new with eOPF?

You may have noticed a new login screen because the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) now requires multifactor authentication to sign into the system. You now use your Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card and Personal Identification Number (PIN) to log into the system. You can no longer log in using an eOPF username and password.

 

What if I already log into eOPF using my PIV?

If you already log into eOPF with your PIV card and PIN, you don’t need to do anything further.

 

How do I log into eOPF using my PIV?

Please follow the steps outlined here if your PIV card isn’t registered with eOPF.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How do I find my eOPF ID when I don’t know it?

New employees or anyone who has forgotten the eOPF ID will use the eOPF self-service functionality to retrieve the eOPF ID. To use the eOPF self-service functionality, you must have a unique work email address on file in eOPF.

  1. Go to eOPF. Click on the link that says "Request your eOPF ID"
  2. Enter the last 5 digits of your SSN, your Last Name, and your Date of Birth. You will only need to do this once.
