I have applied for a job and they are doing group registrations and one of the items they want you to take along is proof of national insurance number. I just wondered what sort of thing could i take for that? Not sure if i have any proof other than on letters about my benefits. Is that the sort of thing to take?

    If it has your name and address on it yes that should be fine, Usually they just ask for the number though

    If the letter shows your NI number that should be proof enough.

    Never heard of requiring 'proof' of NI number before.

    I guess you could provide the relevant letters. Or do you not have an NI card you can take with you?

    A previous pay slip would have it on.

    good luck

    Letters from HMRC (tax codes, etc.) usually have the NI Number, as, I think, do letters from banks/building societies about ISAs. Or letters from DWP about benefits, of course.

    Take two along with you, and you'd have proof of your address as well.

    Ahh, I remember my stepdaughter getting one when she turned 16, which was January 2011, so she would have been one of the last.

    We had to send it back anyway as her name was wrong!
