Getting your number

You should get a National Insurance number (NINO) before you start work, but you can apply even if you are already working. Your NINO will help HMRC keep a record of your national insurance contributions over your lifetime, which can give you entitlement to some benefits and a state pension. Your NI number is unique and stays the same for life. You can check your NI number on HMRC’s website and in your online personal tax account. You can also find it on payslips, P60s, and official letters about tax, pensions, and benefits. Beware of scams that promise to send your NI number online for a fee.

Your NINO is made up of 2 letters and 6 numbers and is unique to you for your whole life. You should never use anyone else’s NINO and must always make sure that it is accurate. You can check your NINO in your online Personal Tax Account or by printing a letter from the HMRC website. You can also contact the NI numbers helpline for England and Wales or the National Insurance registration helpline for Northern Ireland if you need further information. You can also write to HMRC at this address with all National Insurance queries except complaints.

Using your number

Every UK citizen is assigned a National Insurance number at birth. This number is unique and stays the same for life. It is used to make sure that National Insurance contributions and tax are recorded against the correct person. It is also used as a reference for communication with the National Insurance system and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). You will normally receive your NI number shortly before your 16th birthday. You can find it on documents such as P45s and P60s, wage slips, or letters from HMRC. If you have a document with a NI number beginning with the letters TN, this is a temporary NI number and does not count.

You should always quote your NI number correctly when you start work and when you apply for benefits or to pay tax. You should keep your NI number safe and do not share it with anyone who does not need it. You can check your NI number by using the online Personal tax account or calling the NI number helpline.

When you apply for a Concessionary Fares Bus Pass, it is now a requirement to provide your NI number. You should use the format QQ 12 34 56 C to show your NI number, which is made up of 2 letters followed by six numbers and then A, B, or C.

Getting help with your number

Normally you’ll get a letter telling you your National Insurance number, which looks like QQ123456C, just before your 16th birthday.

Getting your NI number can take up to four weeks. Once you have it, you can use it to pay tax and claim benefits. It’s a good idea to keep it safe, just as you would any other personal information. You can use it to prove your identity, for example when applying for a driving licence or ISA savings account. It can also be used as part of your proof of address.

Getting help with your tax

If you need help with your tax, you can call the HMRC enquiry line. This number is free to use. This number is staffed 24 hours a day. You can also use this number if you want to check that your tax payment is correct. This service is available to customers in the UK and overseas.
