Applying for an NI number
There is a process of checks that need to go through when YOU apply for an NI number.
Firstly, the DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) makes sure YOU need an NI number.
Secondly, they make sure you haven't already got an NI number.
If you need an NI number and you haven't got one, you should phone
0845 0600 0643 between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday.
After finding your intentions of securing an NI, they will ask for your names, date of birth, the type of visa you are holding and your full home address. They will write you a letter on the address you told them so make sure you said it right and clear. In the letter they will ask you to come to a personal interview. They will give you the date and time of your interview. Please ensure you arrive in good time for your interview. If you do not, you may not be seen.
What to bring with you?
- Types of evidence and information to prove your right to work:
Examples:
Passport, Birth Certificate ( if you were born in the UK ),Registration or naturalisation certificate, Work permit, Home Office documents, confirming you are entitled to work in the UK.
- Types of evidence to prove your identity
Examples:
Valid passport (two or more if of dual/multi nationality)
Marriage/Civil Partnership Certificate
Full/Provisionary Driving Licence
- Types of evidence to prove you're actively looking for a job before the NI application:
Examples:
Application letter to prospect employers which includes their replies either rejected or hired, or invitation for a job interview.
Application form received from the employers or jobcentres.
Letters confirming where residing ( e.g. letters from Phils. water bill, council tax, electricity, etc.)
Purpose of personal interview :
- check the identity to make sure you are who you say you are to protect your NI and social security accounts, and
- check you have a right to work in the UK if your application is for employment purposes
