Troubleshooting

I forgot which email address my ORCID is associated with.

  • If you have forgotten which email address you registered your ORCID account with, please go to our Forgot password page. Select the ORCID iD option, and then enter in any email addresses you may have registered with.

    We will send you an email letting you know your 16-digit ORCID identifier.

    If the email says we could not find an ORCID iD associated with the email address, then retry the process above with your other current email addresses (both personal and professional) to recover the ORCID iD.

    When you have exhausted all other options, please contact us with your full name, your 16-digit ORCID identifier, and any email addresses you may have registered for an account with. Note: To prevent this from happening in the future, we recommend adding multiple email addresses to your ORCID account.

Why should I add another email address to my ORCID?

  • The most common issue we hear from users is the loss of access to their former email addresses registered to their accounts.

We strongly recommend adding at least one backup email address, so you can recover access to your ORCID record in case you lose access to another email.

I lost access to my previously registered email address. What can I do?

  • If you remember your password, try logging in at https://orcid.org/signin using your 16-digit ORCID iD or your previous email address as your username. 

    If you’ve forgotten your password AND have lost access to previously registered email, please contact us and include: 

    • Your name
    • ORCID iD(s) you think may belong to you
    • Any former email addresses you may have registered with
    • A current institutional or work email address (if possible)

    This information will make it easier for us to identify potential ORCID records that may belong to you and provide you with a quicker turnaround.

    Please see How can I access my ORCID record if I no longer have the email associated with it for more information. Note: To prevent this from happening in the future, we recommend adding multiple email addresses to your ORCID account.
