National Insurance Number

[IainBusby]

CRIKEY!!!!!
Been reading all about these NI, what a nightmare you're all been going through, I'm glad i didn't have to go through all that when i went to get my NI, just walk in the dss office with me n my hubbys passport a few utility bills,interviewed for a few minutes and thats it, walk out with NI in me hand, but then again, that was a long, long time ago...... Best of Luck to you all

My wife tried to get an interview for a national insurance number and they told her that she would have to have proof that she was actually seeking work, such as, rejection letters. They just don't live in the real world, I mean, how many employers send out rejection letters to unsuccessful candidates these days. If you sent off a hundred job applications, you'd have much more chance of getting a job than of getting a rejection letter.

An employer can employ you without a national insurance number.They just need to give you a letter of employment,you then take that to the job centre and they will get you an appointment for an interview.Hope this helps

i think i read if you showed you had signed up for work with job agencies that would count also.
