What the NINo is used for and the standard steps to apply for one. In this guide, we have gathered the key points so you can organise yourself at your own pace and with more confidence.
What is the NINo
The National Insurance Number identifies your contributions to British social security. It is not a work permit: you need to have the right to work in the United Kingdom separately.
How to apply
Check the current requirements on GOV.UK and prepare your identity documentation. The process and timeframes may vary depending on your situation.
