UAN stands for Universal Account No. the key no. for the EPF Account. It will be lifelong. If any employee works in 5 companies it will always be same, UAN No. must be communicate to the HR Dept. while joining. It must be noted that every time new joining and registration (by the employer) at Unified Portal of EPFO will generate new PF Account no. but the UAN will always be same.
Your query Fresh Start just creates new EPF no. for different establishments but UAN will be old one.
